Oh, Christ.

Its a little old...

but full of memories.

How do you like your hero?

Over easy

or sunny side up?

You ran through Africa and Asia...

and Indonesia...

and now Ive found you.

And I love you.

I want to know your name.

Our children-

Our children-

Our children...

will remember.

I dont know who he is.

He followed me on the street.

He tried to rape me.

Hes a madman.

I dont know his name.

I dont know who he is.

He wanted to rape me.

I dont know.

I dont know him.

I dont know who he is.

Hes a madman.

I dont know his name.
