"You see that pack of virginia killing sticks at the end of the piano? All you need to know about life is retained within those four walls. You would notice that one of your personalities is seduced by the illusions of grandeur. The gold packet of king's size with regal insignia, an attractive implication towards glamour and wealth. A subtle suggestion that cigarettes are indeed your royal and loyal friends! And that Pete is a lie. Your other personality is trying to draw your attention to the flip side of the discussion. Written in boring, bold, black and white is the statement that these neat little soldiers of death are infact trying to kill you. And that Pete is the truth. Oh! Beauty is a beguiling call to death and I'm addicted to the sweet pitch of it's siren. That which starts sweet ends bitter and that which starts bitter ends sweet. That is why you and I love the drugs. And that is also why I cannot give that painting back. Now please pass me a light."
- Johnny Quid, RockNRolla (2008)
