O cemitério da cidade romena Sapanta tem uma função terapêutica para quem estiver muito triste e angústiado com a morte de um ente querido. Explica-se: O cemitério existe para que os mortos sejam enterrados, mas existe também para que as pessoas o visitem, sentem-se nos túmulos e dêem gargalhadas até não poderem mais. É o verdadeiro morrer a rir! Os túmulos são pintados de cores berrantes e enfeitados com fotos do falecido em situações alegres de sua vida.

Mas a verdade é que a Aurora (Dawn) também ajuda... E muito!
“A real relationship isn’t like a fairy tale, if you think that for the next forty years, every time you see each other you’re going to glow, or, every time you hold hands there’s going to be electricity, then, you’re kidding yourself really. What about reliability, or er, someone paying the mortgage, or someone who’s never been out of work. Those are the more important, practical things, you know. In reality.”

O Discurso Motivacional do Tio Brent:
“You’re all looking at me, you’re going “well yeah, you’re a success, you’ve achieved you’re goals, you’re reaping the rewards, sure. But, OI, Brent! Is all you care about chasing the yankee dollar?” Let me show you something I always keep with me. Just a little book, Collective Meditations, and it’s a collection of philosophers, writers, thinkers, native American wisdom, which I, and it’s really showing you that, er, the spiritual side needs as much care and attention as the physical side. It’s about feeding the soul, yeah? Evolving spirituality. And a foreword by Duncan Goodhew, so...
Can I read one-which I think- “If all men were to bring their miseries together in one place, most would be glad to take each, his own, home again, rather than take a portion out of the common stock.” It’s saying, for the first time, you know, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side, don’t look over your neighbour’s fence and go “ooh he’s got a better car than me, ooh, he’s got a more attractive wife.” We all wake up and we go “oh, I ache, I’m not 18 any more, you know, I’m thirty ni- you know, I’m in my thirties, I’m not-”, but so what, at least I’ve got my health. And if you haven’t got your health-if you’ve got one leg, at least I haven’t got two legs missing. And if you have lost both legs and both arms, just go “at least I’m not dead!”
I’d rather be dead in that situation, to be honest. I’m not saying people like that should be...you know, put down. I’m saying that, in my life, I’d rather not live without arms and legs because...I’m just getting into yoga, for one thing. So....”

Ao Serão:
Uma família únida e democrática (pai, mãe e filha) faz zapping à procura de um canal que agrade a todos.
Depara-se-lhes num dos canais [Tvi] um deplorável espectáculo de domingo à tarde: TOURADA
Pai - Está a dar isto?
Filha - É triste, não é? Devia acontecer a todos os toureiros o que aconteceu ao Pedrito de Portugal...
Pai - Que foi que lhe aconteceu?
Filha - Não sabes? Shame on you. Foi empalado nos cornos do touro. Adorei! Devia a acontecer isso a todos eles. Hih hih hi... Bem feito.
Pai [num tom catedrático] - Não quero que fales assim. Já me lembro de ouvir essa notícia aqui há uns tempos.
Pai [zangado e elevando a voz] -Não é assim que se diz!!! Não se diz "foi empalado nos cornos do touro"... É sofreu uma 'contusão anal' que se diz.
Filha - Ó pai se foi com tesão ou não, não sei só sei que o tourito o f**** bem f**ido!!
Mãe [ mudando de canal] -Hih hi hih hih hih hih!!!

"The Boxer"
I am just a poor girl
though my story’s seldom told
I’ve squandered my resistance
for a pocketful of mumbles,
such are promises
All lies and jest,
still the woman hears
what she wants to hear
And disregards the rest,
hmmmm
hmmm
When I left my home and my family,
I was no more than a girl
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station, runnin’ scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters,
where the ragged people go
Looking for the places
only they would know
...
Asking only workman’s wages,
I come lookin’ for a job, but I get no offers
Just a c'mon from the jerks on 7th avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there
Ooooh la la la
Now the years are rolling by me,
they are rockin’ even me
I am older than I once was, and younger than I’ll be,
that’s not unusual
No it isn’t strange, after changes upon changes,
we are more or less the same
After changes we are more or less the same...
...
And I’m laying out my winter clothes,
wishing I was gone, goin’ home
Where the new york city winters aren’t bleedin’ me,
leadin’ me to go home
In the clearing stands a boxer,
and a fighter by her trade
And she carries the reminders of every glove that laid her down
or cut her ’til she cried out in hER anger and her shame
I am leaving, I am leaving,
but the fighter still remains
Yes she still remains
...
Paul Simon - The Boxer

The Great
PRETENDER
Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Pretending I'm doing well (ooh ooh)
My need is such I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell
Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Adrift in a world of my own (ooh ooh)
I play the game but to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone
Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
Ooh Ooh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh)
I seem to be what I'm not (you see)
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
Yeah ooh hoo
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh)
I seem to be what I'm not you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're
Pretending that you're still around
