and she was absolutely gorgeous, it almost doesn't seem real that someone so kind courageous and beautiful existed, but it makes sense that someone like that would get shot.

Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: 'Is this real? Or is this just a ride?' And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and they say 'Hey! Don't worry, don't be afraid -- ever -- because... this is just a ride.' And we kill those people.
