tajar : what made you want to smell gas, bullet?

bullet: well, when you feel bad, you smell it and it makes you feel kind of hot and kind of drowsy, like you was floating through the air. it makes you feel sort of hot inside and different from the way you were before...

tajar: bullet, how come so much gas was spilled on the cellar floor?

bullet: oh, i just wanted to get more on my rag. if you have a lot it makes you sort of dream. it gets all dark and you see shooting stars in it, and this time i saw big flies flying in it. they were big and green and had white wings.
