## Michael Alig

* Typical James, tired old drug addict. Can't even stay awake for your own movie!
* I wanted to create my own world. A world full of color where everyone could play. One big party that never ends.
* You'll love me. I promise.
* We'll put James in a cage and hang a sign over it that says, "Do not feed the drug child!"
* The road of excess leads to the palace of... fabulousness!
* Oh please, party in the truck!
* I won't do crack without heroin!
* But it's my birthday and I want a bloodfeast!
* That's not a crack hole, that's a rat hole. Rats on crack attack!
* You're just some lame-ass, Johnny-come-lately, fairy, faggot, copycat! You don't even know your skrink from your skrod! You stupid logger blogger!
* Oh James, I'm getting away with murder and you're just jealous.
* That's Skrink la do, to you.
* ..Not that it's your movie. You think it's yours. But it's really mine. All mine.
* Come to my party. You can be my boyfriend.

## James St. James

* Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3. Testosterone, testicular cancer, Tess of the D'urbervilles.
* I don't do. I just am.
* The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom. Blake, William. That's really all you need to know. That and "Don't dream it, be it!"
* Michael was growing on me. Like a fungus.
* The North Pole! I've made it across the frozen tundra. My faithful huskies perished in the blizzard way back. I had to eat them.
* Darling, half the fun of eating meat is hacking it up.
* I am not addicted to drugs, I'm addicted to glamor!
* Mm, lightly toasted animal tranquilizer.
* It doesn't matter what you look like! I mean if you have a hunchback, just throw a little glitter on it, honey, and go dancing.
* It was better than a ten-inch dick and you know it!

## Others

* Elke: He was always making money. He just had a knack for it. My little candy man.
* Christina: How do you like my UFO?
* Police Officer: [trying to pick Christina up] Let's go, sweetheart. You're a big girl.

## Dialogue

    James: Michael, I hate you for making me say serious things so I will only say this once. You've gone too far with the drugs.
    Michael: Have you looked in the mirror lately?
    Michael: So. How's the novel coming?
    James: I've done another page! But now I think I might have writer's block.
    Michael: Two pages in five years?
    Michael: So, notice anything different?
    James: [looks around] The flies?
    Michael: No, seriously James. Anything or anyone missing? Like a drug dealer who used to live here?
    James: Well darling that could be anyone. Can I buy a vowel?
    Michael: Hi. I'm Michael Alig.
    James: Well I'll alert the media. Gotta dash!
    Keoki: Are we going far?
    Michael: All the way I hope.
    James: I know what you need. A nice hot cup of hot chocolate.
    Michael: Can you put some ecstasy in mine?
    Michael: We're like two peas in a pod, you and I, James.
    James: I pity the pod.
    Michael: You're the Yoda to my Luke.
    James: Excuse me. You're the Paula Abdul to my Janet Jackson.
    Michael: That's good, right?
    Michael: Our magazine's on the stands today. Can you believe it? Our own magazine!
    James: I've already seen it, and there's a problem. A big problem. I've been cut off. [reads from magazine page] "James St. James heads up white slave ring, sells twelve year old boys on Avenue B. Exclusive by Michael Alig." Why, Michael? Why?
    Michael: Oh come on Skrink, I think it's funny!
    James: My father does not share your sense of humor!
    Michael: I didn't know he was a Project X reader!
    James: Yes you did, because you sent him a lifetime subscription!
    Michael: Angel bailed me out.
    James: Angel?
    Michael: Well, actually, Angel bailed you out.
    James: Me?
    Michael: Yeah, I told the police I was you.
    [James gawks in disbelief]
    Michael: Oh James, it's just all in fun. And after I told them you had AIDS, they gave me my own room with a VCR and ice cream!
    James: Michael, I don't even like you! I have never liked you!
    Talk Show Host: Is it true, ma'am, that your son Michael turned you on to the pill ecstasy?
    Elke: He said it was a headache pill.
    Talk Show Host: What happened when you took it?
    Elke: Well, my headache went away..
