i can feel it: upon the seat of a bicycle built for two



to show my support during the "scenes i go back to" saga. id like to share a scene i love. its from 2001: Space Odyessy by Stanley Kubrick. i love the sounds in this movie. i love the images. but the thing i love most in movies is dialog. here is some of the best dialog. spoken true from hal 9000. the computer:

Hal: I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you.

Dave: Yes, I'd like to hear it, HAL. Sing it for me.

Hal: It's called "Daisy."
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I'm half crazy all for the love of you. It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage. But you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two.
