"The girl in 8G has no faith in herself," Marla shouts, "and she's worried that as she grows older, she'll have fewer and fewer options."īack to. "It's not love or anything," Marla shouts, "but I think I like you." Only in death are we no longer part of Project Mayhem. The fight goes on and on because I want to be dead. They've never met so Tyler thinks it's a bad thing Marla is going to die. And for awhile, her heart just sort of flatlined. Marla started going to the support groups since it was easier to be around other human butt wipe. "I embrace my own festering diseased corruption," Marla tells the cherry on the end of her cigarette.
