‫A CURE. YOU THINK ‫?IT'S POSSIBLE

‫I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS ‫.JUST A MATTER OF TIME

‫?MARIA, CAN YOU HEAR ME

‫.THIS IS GEAR

‫SORRY ABOUT THE ‫.LIQUID NITROGEN THING

‫?CAN I HANDLE THIS, PLEASE

‫YOU WEREN'T ALWAYS ‫.HARDCORE, MARIA

‫IT'S THE BIG BANG ‫.THAT CHANGED YOU

‫IT'S ALWAYS GONNA BE THAT WAY ‫.UNLESS YOU LET THEM HELP YOU

‫?WHY SHOULD I TRUST THEM

‫?WHY SHOULD I TRUST ANY OF YOU

‫?WHO ELSE IS THERE? HOTSTREAK
