Movie: Touched with Fire
Marco: They call me Luna. Because my mind moves in tune with the lunar shifts. They call me a lunatic... because my biological clock's a time bomb that ticks down to the minute the full moon's lit. And I just got out of the loony bin, and I haven't been taking my medication, so I'm about as unstable as if nitro raped glycerin. More insane than Batman's Riddler if Jim Carrey had played him without taking his Ritalin. I'll leave you riddles sicker than a crossword puzzle written by Jack The Ripper. Full of clues as to how I'm gonna kill you which I will do right before you figure it out so I can stick it on the ground next to your dead body and let the detectives finish filling it out!
Movie: Touched with Fire

Marco: [to Dr. Strinsky]I'm not sick. I can understand why you'd be here; you look very sick to me. There's no life in your face. You look like you're about to tip over. And if you ask me, you know, you don't need, uh... electric shock therapy. You need some jumper cables attached to a Mack truck to latch to your face to light up those dull eyes of yours.

Carla: When you have this illness, you... actually go manic before you go into the hospital, dad.
Movie: Touched with Fire
Carla: The fire went out... black, not even the smoke to sniff up the memory of last night's wild sight and resurrect its magic back, sun-burnt on the tip of a matchstick with one flick of God's finger, as all eternal blows out... Lost in shadows... Surround my lips like vicious flint with thrilled flicks licked with silk... It's going up in flames... As my spirit spreads! Get away my brains like stretching... Chain... Can't have wings... Wildfires rising high in my eyes... So wild... Fire irises. I'm a flame. I'm a flame!
Movie: Touched with Fire
Carla: One day the sun cast onto the world to show its image in different light. All the lines were in place but in between no shape or shades, just shadows of the past cast against an aging brain, fading with the sunset's dying rays... Wiping away all trace of yesterday.
