如果可以得到你要的

being the second-choice 或 substitute people

究竟有沒有關係?

it's painful, not hard.
you already knew it, or you won't look so painful.

by Miranda "Nazi" Bailey
(season 2 episode 5 : bring the pain)

原句一直沒有聽清楚,其實是這樣才對。
It’s not hard. It’s painful but it’s not hard.
You know what to do already.
If you didn’t you wouldn’t be in this much pain.

Ham or Eggs?
Pig or Chicken?
It's about involvement or commitment.

雞跟豬都想為主人做早餐。
雞提供了雞蛋,豬提供了火腿
對這頓早餐雞下了一顆蛋,雞有付出心力但不痛不癢
不過它還是有付出的,所以是"involvement"
但對豬來講卻割下了自己的一塊肉
這樣的付出可以說是一種"commitment"
一種掏心掏肺的付出

if love were enough, that she'd still be here with you.

happiness (is a warm gun)


Clarissa Vaughn: I remember one morning getting up at dawn, there was such a sense of possibility. You know, that feeling? And I remember thinking to myself: So, this is the beginning of happiness. This is where it starts. And of course there will always be more. It never occurred to me it wasn't the beginning. It was happiness. It was the moment. Right then. (The Hours)




她在夜半的咖啡館裡讀詩,
他枕在她的大腿上瞌睡。

他終於穿了她新買的毛衣,
在冬天,迎著光,騎著腳踏車向她而來。

那個早晨,出門的背影,她在陽台目送,
她的回眸幾幾乎比陽光還要燦爛。

他在被窩裡醒來,翻過身,說,
我在想妳變老會是什麼樣子。

little person


〈Little Person〉

song by Jon Brion
sing by Deanne Storey

I'm just a little person. 
One person in a sea.
Of many little people.
Who are not aware of me.
I do my little job.
And live my little life.
Eat my little meals.
Miss my little kid and wife.

And somewhere maybe someday.
Maybe somewhere far away.
I'll find a second little person.
Who will look at me and say.

I know you.
You're the one I've waited for.
Let's have some fun.
Life is precious.
Every minute.
And more precious with you in it.
So let's have some fun.

We'll take a road trip.
Way out West.
You're the one.
I like the best.
I'm glad I found you.
Like hanging round you.
You're the one.
I like the best.

Somewhere maybe someday.
Maybe somewhere far away.
Somewhere maybe someday.
Maybe somewhere far away.
Somewhere maybe someday.
Maybe somewhere far away.
I'll meet a second little person.
And we'll go out and play.

舞.舞.舞


「跳舞啊。」羊男說。「只要音樂還響著的時候,總之就繼續跳舞啊。我說的話你懂嗎?跳舞啊。繼續跳舞啊。不可以想為什麼要跳什麼舞。不可以去想什麼意義。什麼意義是本來就沒有的。一開始去想這種事情時腳步就會停下來。一旦腳步停下來之後,我就什麼都幫不上忙了。你的連繫會消失掉。永遠消失掉噢。那麼你就不得不在這邊的世界生活了。會漸漸被拉進這邊的世界來喲。所以腳不能停。不管你覺得多愚蠢,都不能在意。好好地踏著步子繼續跳舞。這樣子讓那已經僵化的東西逐漸一點一點地放鬆下來。應該還有一些東西還不太遲。能用的東西要全部用上噢。要全力以赴噢。沒有什麼可怕的事。你確實是累了。疲倦、害怕。任何人都會有這樣的時候。覺得一切的一切好像都錯了似的。所以停下腳步。」

我抬起眼睛,又再注視著牆上的影子一會兒。

「不過只能夠跳舞。」羊男繼續說。「而且要跳得格外好。好得讓人家佩服。這樣的話或許我就可以幫助你也不一定。所以跳舞吧。只要音樂還繼續響著。」

跳舞吧。只要音樂還繼續響著。




年紀越大,我越覺得這段話有道理。
