[Paramedics rush a lifeless Nikki to the hospital]

Paramedic #1: I can't bring him back, man.

[Paramedic #2 detects no pulse on Nikki]

Paramedic #2: Fuck. Fuck! All right. Time of death...

Paramedic #1: Nah, nah, nah. This is Nikki Fucking Sixx, man. He's not about to die in my ambulance!

[Paramedic #1 shoves an adrenaline syringe through Nikki's chest]

Paramedic #1: Come on.

Paramedic #2: [checking pulse] I've got nothing.

Paramedic #1: Come on. Fuck!

[Paramedic #1 grabs another adrenaline syringe and shoves it through Nikki's chest. Nikki suddenly gets up and gasps. He notices the syringes on his chest and looks at Paramedic #1]

Nikki Sixx: Ow!

Paramedic #1: Yo!

[the Paramedics high-five each other]

Paramedic #2: All right!

Nikki Sixx: [narration] I've finally hit rock bottom. I'm done with drugs. I'm done with being unhappy, and I'm done with letting everyone down.

[Nikki returns home and records a new message on his answering machine]

Nikki Sixx: Hey, it's Nikki. I'm not home... 'cause I'm dead.

Nikki Sixx: [narration] I couldn't face that I was one of the luckiest guys on the planet. I had so many reasons to live. I don't need the drugs. Fuck the drugs.

[Nikki locks himself in his closet]

Nikki Sixx: [narration] It's time to get clean. That's what I told myself... right before I shot up again.

[Nikki wakes up with a syringe on his left arm. He gets up and looks at himself in the mirror before removing the syringe]

Nikki Sixx: [narration] This was rock bottom.

[Vince storms into the studio]

Mick Mars: Maybe if we save that fill until the second chorus when we come in with the...

[Vince barges in]

Vince Neil: Someone wanna tell me what the fuck's going on here?

Nikki Sixx: Let's save us all some time, especially yours, Vince, as it's clearly more fucking valuable than ours!

Vince Neil: You'd better tell me what the fuck's going on.

Nikki Sixx: What's going on is that we're down here, and we're working, and we wanna be here, but we are tired of forcing you to be here with us.

Vince Neil: Maybe I'd come in more if I liked the material.

Tommy Lee: [gets up] Maybe you'd like the material if you were in the studio making it with us instead of staring at your fucking watch!

Vince Neil: Yeah, I'm staring at my watch because this album is fucking stupid!

[pause]

Vince Neil: You know what, fuck all y'all. You know, I am done. Fuck this. I quit.

Nikki Sixx: Good, 'cause you're fucking fired!

Vince Neil: I quit already, dick!
