200 Cigarettes

Did you know that cigarettes are a shield against meaningful interaction with other people? It's true. I read it. People protect themselves
emotionally by relating to their cigarettes instead of each other. That's what struck me last night watching all those people standing around with their cigarettes. Why is everyone so afraid? Why are people so scared of each other?

You gotta look around you. Everybody's having fun out here. They drinkin', they fightin', they pissin' on the streets. It's New Year's Eve.

Everybody knows they're gonna die, baby. Nobody wanna hear it from you, you dig?
