Canon is, of course, Rock of Ages (2012 film)

[openyourmouth]

You really think you're up for this? Just crawl behind the eyes, like you can see any better from there... or is it all just a projection? A dream of rock 'n' roll past. Smudge the mirror and see what version of me comes out.

I keep telling you. No one else can get in here. [Taps forehead]

And even if you could, where would you send me? The castle? The sex islands? Take away the crowds and the spotlight and what's left?

[Long pause...]

... I don't even know what I'd be without it anymore. And I know me better than anyone.

The castle's rather popular lately, isn't it?

You never know. You might win a new crowd over wherever you'd end up.

[openyourmouth]

I'm not the one who needs it.

[Points lazily at his mun] She thinks she can take me away from everything that defines me, and still hear my voice?

You should see her agonizing over these "tags", man. Takes forever to finish just one.

[That's because it's not easy to write crazy drunk, you bastard. >_>]

[malebolge]

She's at least putting in the effort for you, right? At the very least, you could help her out.

[openyourmouth]

Help her send me to some soul-sucking castle?

... Too bad it's not six years ago. I could have used a concept like that for an album back then.

[Again, it's not clear if he's being sarcastic or serious. What is emoting properly, anyway?]

[malebolge]

[You, sir, are quite odd.]

At least if she'd send you there, it's after its latest event.

[openyourmouth]

[Yes, he is.]

... You mean the thing that got Punky all weepy?

[Her name's Rise, Stacee. Stop giving people weird nicknames. >_>]

[malebolge]

Hey, judging from what I saw from the sidelines, she's got good reason to be upset.

[Ilya's totally predicting that she's upset at herself for spontaneously hugging Pixy too.]
