Did you tear a dose off a daisy blotter?

Only for emergencies. Thought it would help with the pain if things got too much. I can take it backstage or even onstage if I have to.

It’s not a painkiller! Even if it was, it’s mixed with fuck knows what IT’S A SHIT BATCH.

Why’ve you even got it if it’s shit?

Would’ve stashed it already but someone wanted to buy some and didn’t care what it was. The rest is going on ice for a bit.

In Digworth’s freezer. Perfect place. Mark’s gonna stash it for a cut later. He’s a diamond.
