A scene from The Doors 1991
Jim

What turns you on?

Pam

I don't know. Experience. Freedom. Love... Now. Peyote's like love. When it's given it's blessed. When it's sold it's damned. I like peyote. I like acid, it's easier to get. I like the spiritual voyage. The first time I did acid I saw God. I did. I had a friend who was Christ. And he was Judas too. I suddenly knew the secret of everything -- that we're all one, the universe is one. And that everything is beautiful.

Jim

Is it? I don't know. I think you're alive by confronting death -- by experiencing pain.

Pam

I think you're alive by recognizing beauty -- seeing truth because when you discover truth you discover what love is... we're all saying the same thing. It's "love me and I'll love you."

Jim

It's only through death that you know life. Jesus, medicine men heal people by sacrificing their own life.

Pam

Do you love Death?

Jim

I think life hurts a lot more than death. When you die the pain is over.
