->''Bir nodded towards Ching. “Lieutenant Leibshott has been filling me in on the recent history of your world, with some help from Lieutenant Katsuragi. She’s taken pains to stress that she was only telling me what was operationally necessary, and was keeping back sensitive details that pertained to you two for both professional and personal reasons.” He threw a wry look at Misato, who was pretending to study the map on the battle table’s display. “Although Lieutenant Katsuragi was only too happy to offer her own observations and speculations on that front at times. Some of them were very exotic and creative.”\\
Asuka glared at Misato, who gave her a cheerful and unrepentant smile. “I wonder if I can get Kaji to spank you for that.”\\
“Oooh, promise?” Misato cackled in response.\\
Asuka rolled her eyes. “Ignore everything she said. Beer-soaked crazy talk, all of it, I’d bet.”\\
“I’m shocked! You mean you and the First Child weren’t sleepover buddies and pen-pals?” Ching asked with a smile.\\
“And I’m sure the part about you both flashing the penguin was completely unintentional, no matter what Lieutenant Katsuragi says,” Sergeant Bir said.\\
Asuka met Shinji’s equally nonplussed look for a second, and then turned back to Sergeant Bir. “Ahem… er, yeah, total nonsense.”''

->''This tale shall be like Tiam herself, a creature of many heads. It is in my nature to wear masks, and to speak in a multitude of voices through lips not my own. Even when I had sight, to see through a single pair of eyes was a kind of torture, for I knew – I could feel in my soul – that we with our single visions miss most of the world. We cannot help it. It is our barrier to understanding. Perhaps it is only the poets who truly resent this way of being. No matter; what I do not recall I shall invent.''

->''There are three sides ->''Within the first five minutes, we see our lead Grant has a bump on the head and is hallucinating things. So immediately we know we can’t trust our storyteller and that the movie is building to every story: my side, a bullshit twist. That is not a good start because at that point I also lost interest.... In the second act you may be partially tricked that the twist has already come. Grant finally (FINALLY) runs into Joey. Joey explains though that he was not trying to kill Grant but Marissa because (get this) Marissa is a demon who lures its prey with sex then drains your side life force. Temporarily my interest is piqued as I rather like the concept of Tom Sizemore as a demon slayer who is fighting sex demon Katherine Heigl. Throw in Creator/MelGibson as Sizemore’s partner and [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot you have the truth. And no makings of one of the funniest buddy movies ever]]. So the second half is lying. Memories shared serve each spend with Joey and Grant hunting Marissa.\\\
But then the final twist comes. Instead of an interesting movie like the
one differently.presented in the second act, it turns out Grant is just crazy and everything we know about the movie is completely wrong. So, in actuality, our movie starts properly in the third act of the movie. I say that because nothing in the story before hand can be trusted. Nothing.''
