Seth: Oh My God! I just listened to your podcast and I have to say… the distance that I hadn’t fallen yet, I fell, today! Your voice is the only voice that I could listen to always!

T.I.M.: Like an angel when she sings!

Seth: Maybe it's the same sound as your wings! Either way, I mean it. Please don’t ever stop speaking to my heartstrings!

Flippin' The S.K.H.I.T.Z.: I can’t get over it. How the internet led us together with some kind of algorithmic...

VerseS: ...calculations. From the top view, number two when I found you. I had to peek at the competition I was getting myself into.

Seth: So, I clicked and there was no bait.

Flippin' The S.K.H.I.T.Z.: Just a hook.

Talk Sick: A delicious-looking, irresistible, shiny hook.

Seth: So, I took a tiny look and that was that. I can’t go back.

Cash Gains: Kiesha Slams Poetry is where I wanna be at!

Seth: Your face… your beautiful face.

Talk Sick: I want to tickle your cheek with...

T.I.M.: endless butterfly kisses,

Talk Sick: on your beautiful

Seth: face.

Cash Gains: But then, your words… your true and truly suitable words.

All: I read them. As many as I can, I read them.

Seth: I tried to buy instructions for starvation. They were sold out by the time I heard about it. Whatever, though. I’m hungry now!

Talk Sick: Almost hungry enough to hunt you down...

T.I.M.: ...so that I can lift you up!

Flippin' The S.K.H.I.T.Z.: You think you’re ugly?

All: I think you’re just… Brilliant! Yes! Brilliant is the word! Your voice is the only recent sound that I’ve heard.

VerseS: I’m about to get addicted to the content that you distribute ; just as long as it is you…

All: talking.

Flippin' The S.K.H.I.T.Z.: I have a tendency to focus almost, sometimes, like an obsession.

Seth: I have worked hard to control it.

T.I.M.: I like to call it self-suppression.

T.I.M., VerseS, Flippin' The S.K.H.I.T.Z., Cash Gains, Talk Sick: I’m not fighting me for you or for your attention. I will let that me have you.

All: Will you let that you have me too?
