"I met God at the supermarket." He said, "You're right?" He said, "Yeah, you." He goes, "What's in your mind?" And just gets some food. But I think he could tell, 'cause I look kind of sad. He said, "Gun, then, ask." I said, "Why are things bad? Like, why is it hard? Like, sometimes it's shit." "Sometimes it's like, oh my God, is this it?" He goes, "I can tell you that now, but you won't like the answer." I said, "Don't give me riddles, man. I'm not calling you master." He said, "Fair enough. I'll give it you a straight." You know, in a film or story or play the bit when you think it's all fucked. There's no way the lead can survive and suddenly, yay, something good happens. And then they're okay and they learn something true and you won the way. Well, it's basically that. You'd be bored with others. You wouldn't know what a good bit is, like, what, just a film about someone who's fine and then nothing happens and, wow, it's all right. To trust me, I've tried it. Before you were born, when no one was rich and no one was poor, and no one was cold, just happy and warm and I was so shit. They all went to war, just to find reasons to feel something more. So now it's like this. You hit, then you miss, then hit, and then when, you know, that kind of thing. And you can tell by my face, I was still kind of pissed. So I tried to tell you, "You won't like the gift." So when does it end? He said, "Oh, in five minutes." I said, "Wait, wait, what? I've got so much to give. Just give me more time. I'm sorry for give. My dreams are undrempt, lost words on my lips. I missed all the sunsets and clichés and shit. And loving my love and time in my kids." And then he goes, "Ah, did someone find reason? Look forward to something. Have faith that there's meaning." I went, "Oh, no, you got me a prick." He said, "Here's your time back. I fuck off and live."
