美劇《Black List》第9集中綽號“Red”的前軍事情報官雷蒙德·萊丁頓(James Spader飾)與腿部中槍因而生命垂危的唐納德·萊斯勒(Diego Klattenhoff飾)有這樣一段感人肺腑的對白:
Have you ever sailed across an oceanr Donald?
No.
On a saiboat surrounded by sea wrth no land in sight. Without even the poss ibility of sighting land for days to come. To stand at the helm of your destiny-l want that one more time. lw ant to be in the Piazza deICampo in Siena. to feel the surge as...lO raceho rses go thundering by. I want another meal in Paris at L'am bro is ie in the Place des Vosges. l want another bottb of wine. And then another. l want the warm th of a woman in a cool set of sheets. One more night of jazz at the Vanguard. lw ant to stand on sum mits and smoke Cubans and feel the sun on my face for as bng as l can. Wak on the wallagain. Climb the tower. Ride the river. Stare at the frescos. I want to sit in the garden and read one more book.
Most of all l want to sleep. l wantto sleep like I slept when I was a boy.Give me that. Just…one time. That'swhy I won't albw that punk out thereto get best of me.
你駕駛帆船橫渡過大洋嗎,唐納德?
沒有。
在一眼望不到陸地的海洋中駕駛著一艘帆船,并且在幾天之內都毫無看到陸地的希望。執掌著命運之舵。我想再一次擁有那種感覺。我想站在錫耶納城的田園廣場,感受那如十匹賽馬咆哮而過般的澎湃感。我想再去巴黎孚日廣場的蘭博西餐廳吃一餐飯。我想再喝一瓶紅酒,然后再來一瓶。我想在涼爽的被單中感受到女人的溫暖。想再享受一晚萬佳德俱樂部的爵士樂。我想站在高峰之上抽著古巴雪茄,盡情享受著陽光灑滿我的臉龐。
想再一次走在高墻上,爬上高塔,在河流上漂浮,凝視壁畫。我想坐在花園中再讀一本好書。最重要的是,我想好好睡一覺。我想如孩童時期那樣再熟睡一次。讓我再享受這些美好,哪怕一次也好。這就是我無論如何不能讓外面那個混混打敗我的原因。
