10. Peaceful Warrior

You gotta be kidding me.

This isn't another vision, is it? 'Cause I don't see how this could be happening. What the hell are you doing?

Something wrong?

We don't do this anymore, remember? We know better.

We're better than everyone who doesn't know what we know or live the way we do? Is that what you mean?

Not better, maybe.

Smarter.

There is no "better. " You will never be better.

Same way you'll never be less than anybody else. The habit is the problem.

All you need to do is be conscious about your choices and responsible for your actions. Is that why, out of all the people you could have taught, you chose me?

You done flattering yourself?

You chose me.

Why should I believe you?

You taught me yourself to only listen to my own intuition.

How do you know that I'm not your own intuition speaking to you right now? You mean maybe I made you up?

Don't mess with me like that. Every what has its what? Every action has its price and its pleasure.

Recognizing both sides, a warrior becomes... ...realistic and responsible for his actions. Boy sounds bad over there, man.

You gotta be kidding me.

Money, boys.

Picked the wrong guy to pull this shit on, boys.

Little leverage, at the right time, at the right place?

Yours.

We can ramp this up a little, tough guy.

Thank you and good night.

Didn't you forget our watches? This is where you give it to them, right?

Now, maybe I should have said Dan's watch. I don't wear one. Give it.

Thanks, old man.

What are you, a medium jacket?

Is he a what?

I'm not taking your jacket. It's a good jacket. Nice warm lining.

I'll take it. It's a good jacket. You. You're about Dan's size. What size shoe do you wear, Dan? Are you kidding?

Christ, Soc, how far are we gonna take this?

They could have killed us!

They could have killed us!

You could have kicked every single one of those guys' asses. Instead, we're probably gonna get picked up for indecent exposure. You think that's funny? Do you? You think that's funny? You could have laid out every single one of those guys.

Tell me. Tell me what the hell you were thinking.

That the ones that are hardest to love are the ones that need it the most.

That knowledge is not the same as wisdom.

Wisdom is doing. They could have killed us.

It's a transformation. Death? Yes.

It's a little bit more radical than puberty but nothing to get particularly upset about. What the hell are you talking about?

Death isn't sad. The sad thing is most people don't live at all.
