0:34.7	not everybody's with me so i kind of like take a knee and I'm like
0:37.7	waiting nobody's running by me and I'm realizing you hear like snap snap snap and then all of a sudden
0:42.6	like I get the squeeze in his work behind me so we go up to the front door so I ran up kicked it open
0:48.7	and it propels me past the first two rooms I'm like on my gun the whole time and I just give the
0:53.6	gun upstairs and as me and Chucky get to the top of the stairs, this machine gun fire just comes in, dude, and it comes in heavy.
