When is a party a good party and what is your role in it?
$tM: When you come home and you think: “Wooow, what was that? Who am I? Where am I?” And then you discover you are not at home.
Ill: Can I have a coke?
At: NO! Don’t give him coke!
MM: When is an interview a good interview, and what is your role in it?

Ill: I…am…the…robot….of…the…future.
At: I…am…coming…from…next…wednesday.

$tM: Did you ever see how much buttons there are on a mixer?

When you’re on stage with a numorous crew like yours, aren’t you ever in eachother’s way? That you end up with your crotch in somebody’s mouth?
$tM: Sometimes I end up with my liver under Illvester’s armpit, but not a lot. And there’s something to it.
Illv: What’s the practical use of that?
At: Nothing, it’s quite painful actually.
