Hangover Quote by Kingsley Amis
““A dusty thudding in his head made the scene before him beat like a pulse. His mouth had been used as a latrine by some small creature of the night, and then as its mausoleum. During the night, too, he'd somehow been on a cross-country run and then been expertly beaten up by secret police. He felt bad.””

![“What's cool is that in the story of the movie [The Hangover] our characters are also really kind of getting to know each other and bonding over the course of the movie. And I think you're seeing a real, a literal sort of friendship growing both in us as actors and on screen as characters.” quote by Ed Helms](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/c78/ed-helms-4996_actors_what-s-cool-is-that-in-the-story-of-the_73568.jpg)
