Quotes
interviewer: You don't think the atmosphere, when it's crowded here and loud, is conducive to violence?
Hilly Kristal: No, I think the, you know, the more crowded and the louder it is, the less violence. I think, first of all, there's no room for violence, I think, when it's so loud, nobody can say anything nasty to anybody; they can't hear. And there's really, there's no violence. I think any little violence, anything that starts up, starts up maybe like when people can't communicate. You know, they really... it's a shame that's the one thing I really dislike in this scene is that you... there's a lack of communication between people, maybe the vibrations are all they get, but to me I like to have more than that.
