159 Ya se va a acabar el año

Ya se va a acabar el año y nunca le dije que valió la pena cada risa, cada lágrima, cada pelea, y cada te amo.

154 Manigoldo y Sage

Manigoldo - Dónde estoy? Qué es este lugar? 
* Se ve una fila de cadáveres caminando hacia un precipicio. *
Manigoldo - No! Deténganse! Qué es lo que les pasa?
Sage - La muerte. Hay tantas muertes en nuestro mundo que llenan estas filas infinitas. 
Manigoldo - Dime una cosa, ¿encuentran la paz al caer ahí?
Sage - Jamás. Abajo su único destino es el inframundo. Mejor dicho el Infierno. 
Manigoldo - ¿Infierno? No puede ser! Quizá sufrieron mucho al momento de su muerte. Y al parecer aún lo hacen. Pero ¿tienen que sufrir por toda la eternidad? No te quedes ahí patriarca, haz algo! ¿No podemos deternerlos? ¿No podemos detener esas líneas?
* Se avienta para intentar detener una joven que está por caer. Y cae con ella lográndose sostener apenas del borde. *
Sage - Manigoldo. Suéltala ya, déjala ir.
Manigoldo  - pero…
Sage - De todos modos ella ya está muerta. Aunque la salves de esa fosa no vivirá. 
Manigoldo - Pero, sufrirá más si cae ahí, patriarca. Sufrió al morir, estoy seguro. Pero no permitiré que lo haga eternamente. No voy a permitirlo. 
Sage - Déjala ya, Manigoldo. 
Manigoldo - ¿Qué sentido tiene vivir entonces? ¿Todo mi pueblo sufrirá igual? Si es así como termina la vida, entonces ¿todo mi pueblo sufrirá igual? Si termina así la vida, entonces ¿qué sentido tiene convertirme en caballero?
* Cae la joven. *
Manigoldo - Sólo siento una profunda angustia. 
Sage - Una profunda angustia. No lo des por hecho así nada más. Respóndeme esto, ¿ya olvidaste la razón por la cual te traje al santuario?. No fue porque quisiera enseñarte sobre la angustia o desesperanza en el campo de batalla. 
* Sube a Manigoldo. *
Sage - Fue para que pudieras vivir, Manigoldo. 
Manigoldo - No entiendo nada, ¿cómo podré vivir después de lo que he visto?
Sage - Por esa razón luchamos contra el dios Hades, aquel que reina el inframundo. Y contra todos aquellos que tratan a los humanos como si fueran simples peones. Por eso debes sentir esa vida, Manigoldo, y el universo que hay en ella. No dejes de sentirla y valorarla. Y así derrotaremos a la muerte misma. 
* De vuelta al campo de batalla contra Tanathos. *
Sage - ¿Angustiante? No uses esa palabra tan a la ligera. Aún hay esperanza. 
Manigoldo - Ahora comprendo maestro, tienes toda mi confianza.

134 What makes you a man

What makes you a man is not the ability to make a child, it's the courage to raise one.

Barack Obama

129 Life is so uncertain

Life is so uncertain, that we ought to secure happiness while it is within our reach.

Alexandre Dumas

128 Some are born great

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon ’em.

Shakespeare

123 Creating a Life


104 You're getting old

Randy: You don't get it, Sharon! You never have! And that's supposed to be my fault?!

Sharon: Yes, it IS your fault, Randy, because you're a child!


Randy: I'm sick of everything I do being so wrong, Sharon!


Sharon: ... You're 42 years old, Randy!


Randy: I'm not dead yet Sharon, but you might be!


Sharon: Oh is that what you think?! That I'm dead?!

You do this all the time! First you're obsessed with baseball fights! Then you need to play Warcraft! Then you gotta be a celebrity chef!

Randy: Why can't you ever just support me?!


Sharon: Support what?! Another stupid dream of yours?!


Randy: Face it Sharon, our son turned 10 and you feel old!


Sharon: WHAT does our son turning 10 have to do with you making the same mistakes again and again?!


Randy: Because I'm unhappy, okay?! I've been unhappy for a long time!


Sharon: I'm unhappy too. We both are, obviously. How much longer can we keep doing this? It's like, the same shit just happens over and over and, then in a week it just all resets until- it happens again. Every week it's kind of the same story in a different way but it, it just keeps getting more and more ridiculous.


Randy: I don't know if I've changed or you have. I just feel like I might not have a whole lot of time left and... I want to enjoy it.


Sharon: I want to enjoy it too, but... I can't fake it anymore. You just seem kind of shitty to me.


Randy: You kind of seem shitty to me too.


Sharon: People get older, Randy. People grow apart.

087 We lie

“We lie to deceive ourselves, to console others, we lie for mercy, we lie to fight fear, to encourage ourselves, to hide our and somebody else's misery. We lie for love and honesty. We lie because of freedom. Lying is a trait of our patriotism and the proof of our innate intelligence. We lie creatively, imaginatively and inventively."

Dobrica Cosic
"Deobe"(Divisions) 1961

081 I don't want things to change

There's something I've been wanting to talk to you both about. I know this is a difficult conversation, but I care about you both very much. And I know that you care about each other very much. And that's why it's important that we set these boundaries moving forward, so we can build an environment where we all feel comfortable trusted and open to sharing our feelings. Feelings. Feelings. Jesus. The truth is, for so long, I'd forgotten what those even were. I've been stuck in one place, in a cave, you might say. A deep, dark cave. And then, I left some Eggos out in the woods, and you came into my life and for the first time in a long time, I started to feel things again. I started to feel happy. But, lately, I guess I've been feeling distant from you. Like you're you're pulling away from me or something. I miss playing board games every night, making triple-decker Eggo extravaganzas at sunrise, watching westerns together before we doze off. But I know you're getting older. Growing. Changing. And I guess if I'm being really honest, that's what scares me. I don't want things to change. So, I think maybe that's why I came in here, to try to maybe stop that change. To turn back the clock. To make things go back to how they were. But I know that's naive. It's just not how life works. It's moving. Always moving, whether you like it or not. And, yeah, sometimes it's painful. Sometimes it's sad. And sometimes it's surprising. Happy. So, you know what? Keep on growing up, kid. Don't let me stop you. Make mistakes, learn from 'em, and when life hurts you, because it will, remember the hurt. The hurt is good. It means you're out of that cave. But, please, if you don't mind, for the sake of your poor old dad, keep the door open three inches.
