"Team Nintendo on offense, Wario hands off to Pikachu, the scrappy little pokemon makes a feint right but fast breaks to the left, pass to Yoshi, the dino tries for a three-pointer, OH NO the ball got eaten by the giant fucking robot head."

I say I undoubtedly won this round of the game. Yet there is absolutely no way I will be posting a picture in this thread so fortunately I will pass that heavy responsibility onto somebody else.

A-Rod: I want to confess as best I can, but my heart is void. The void is a mirror. I see my face and feel loathing and horror. My indifference to men has shut me out. I live now in a world of ghosts, a prisoner in my dreams.

 

Ozzie: Yet you do not want to die.

 

A-Rod: Yes, I do.

 

Ozzie: What are you waiting for?

 

A-Rod: Knowledge.

 

Ozzie: You want a guarantee.

 

A-Rod: Call it what you will. Is it so hard to conceive God with one's senses? Why must He hide in a midst of vague promises and invisible miracles? How are we to believe the believers when we don't believe ourselves? What will become of us who want to believe but cannot? And what of those who neither will nor can believe? Why can I not kill God within me? Why does He go on living in a painful, humiliating way? I want to tear Him out of my heart, but He remains a mocking reality which I cannot get rid of. Do you hear me?

 

Ozzie: I hear you.

 

A-Rod: I want knowledge. Not belief. Not surmise. But knowledge. I want God to put out His hand, show His face, speak to me.

 

Ozzie: But He is silent.

 

A-Rod: I cry to Him in the dark, but there seems to be no one there.

 

Ozzie: Perhaps there is no one there.

 

A-Rod: Then life is a senseless terror. No man can live with Death and know that everything is nothing.

 

Ozzie: Most people think neither of Death nor nothingness.

 

A-Rod: Until they stand on the edge of life and see the Darkness.

 

Ozzie: Ah, that day.

 

A-Rod: [laughs bitterly] I see. We must make an idol of our fear, and call it God.

 

Ozzie: You are uneasy.

 

A-Rod: Death visited me this morning. We are playing chess. This respite enables me to perform a vital errand.

 

Ozzie: What errand?

 

A-Rod: My whole life has been a meaningless search. I say it without bitterness or self-reproach. I know it is the same for all. But I want to use my respite for one significant action.

 

Ozzie: So you play chess with Death?

 

A-Rod: He is a skillful tactician, [smiling] but I have not yet lost one piece.

 

Ozzie: How can you outwit Death?

 

A-Rod: [smiling] By a combination of bishop and knight. I will break his flank.

 

Ozzie: I shall remember that.

 

A-Rod: Traitor! You have tricked me! But I'll find a way out.
