"...We were both young when I first saw you I close my eyes And the flashback starts I'm standing there On a balcony in summer air
See the lights See the party, the ball gowns I see you make your way through the crowd And say hello, little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles And my daddy said stay away from Juliet And I was crying on the staircase Begging you please don't go, and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess It's a love story baby just say yes
So I sneak out to the garden to see you We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew So close your eyes Escape this town for a little while
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter And my daddy said stay away from Juliet But you were everything to me I was begging you please don't go and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess It's a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel This love is difficult, but it's real Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess It's a love story baby just say yes Oh oh..."
Começou como algo mágico... e acabou numa epidemia...
Sentou-se e suspirou irritado. Era impressionante a reincidência e ser sempre a si que certas coisas teimavam em acontecer. - que porra! - desabafou em voz alta, passou os dedos pelo cabelo e ergeu o olhar para o vazio diante de si. Virou-se e descobriu em garrafais letras sobre a Entrada de um antigo e imperial cinema - onde descobrira Roger Rabit e a grande cruzada de Indiana Jones - a afirmação que Jesus Cristo é o senhor! - olha... bem que tu podias servir para alguma coisa.... - Meu... calma... não te enerves... Parou, virou-se para a voz que sabia dirigir-se a si. Deparou-se com um homem Moreno de cabelo cumprido, barba de três dias por fazer, vestido num smoking preto impecável. - ah... o quê? - tenho diversas e muito variadas utilidades... não é agradável ouvir que não sirvo para nada... - ah ah... boa... engraçado... tá bem... - virou costas tencionando prosseguir o seu caminho. o homem deteve-o, retirou os ray ban aviator que lhe camuflavam o olhar, fitou-o nos olhos e estremeceu na certeza de quem estava realmente diante de si - agora que já estamos conversados... are we cool? - não... tens muuuuuuita coisa a explicar... não necessáriamente a mim, que sinceramente me és indiferente... - eu sei... eu tudo sei... incluindo a tua indiferença.... - ah sim? diz-me... em que numero estou a pensar agora? - 3592852028699242, isto não é uma piada... - pois... olha, pior agora saber que existes... vá... tenho que ir e tal... nós que temos coisas para fazer e horas de entrada etc... transfigurou o sorriso numa austéra expressão - tas-te a esticar... tu sabes quem é o meu pai??????????????
(...acho a punchline deliciosa, o resto é palha...)
"This movie is for me. There we are, you and me. Why did you do that? Or why did I do that? You made my dream come true. I asked you for it. I promised you something in return and I haven't delivered yet. You win, I lose. Unless... the path you've set for me is full of hurdles where the answer comes before the question. Yeah, I do that. Now I know why. It's the cure, from what I've seen here. It all makes sense. It makes sense to those who understand. So... America, poverty, stealing to eat... Stalking producers, actors, 'movie stars', going to clubs hoping to see a star, with my pictures, karate magazines. It's all I had. I didn't speak English. But I did 20 years of karate. 'Cause before I wasn't like that. This... This is me today. I used to be small and scrawny. And I took up karate. Hence the Dojo, hence respect, thou shall believe people who say, "Oss!" It's Samurai code. It's honor, no lies. So this guy in the US, it's not the same thing. No one says "Oss" to you. Sometimes people in show business say, we're gonna *beep* him! I believed in people, in the Dojo. I was blessed and had a lot of 'wives'. I always believed in love. It's hard for a woman with three kids to say, "Which one do I love more?" A mother... If you have 5, 6, 7 or 10 wives in a lifetime, they've all got something special, but no one cares about that in the so-called media. What about drugs? When you got it all, you travel the world. When you've been in all the hotels, you're the prima donna of the penthouse. And in all hotels the world over, traveling, you want something more. And because of a woman... Well, because of love, I tried something and I got hooked. Van Damme, the beast, the tiger in a cage, the "Bloodsport" man got hooked. I was wasted mentally and physically. To the point that I got out of it. I got out of it. But... It's all there. It's all there. It was really tough. I saw people worse off than me. I went from poor to rich and thought, why aren't we all like me. Why all the privileges? I'm just a regular guy. It makes me sick to see people... who don't have what I've got. Knowing that they have qualities, too. Much more than I do! It's not my fault if I was cut out to be a star. I asked for it. I asked for it, really believed in it. When you're 13, you believe in your dream. Well, it came true for me. But I still ask myself today what I've done on this earth. Nothing! I've done nothing! And I might just die in this post office, hoping to start all over here in Belgium, in my country, where my roots are. Start all over with my parents and get my health back, pick up again. So I really hope... nobody's gonna pull a trigger in this post office... It's so stupid to kill people. They're so beautiful! So, today, I pray to God. I truly believe it's not a movie. It's real life. Real life. I've seen so many things. I was born in Belgium, but I'm citizen of the world. I've traveled a lot. It's hard for me to judge people and it's hard for them... not to judge me. Easier to blame me. Yeah, something like that."
