Rachel Dawes is a Weak and Dishonest Person, Pretending to Be Brave
The Rachel Dawes of Earth-Two
I Am in My Own Way
Why Does Batman Wear a Mask in the First Place...?
Because Bruce Wayne cannot go out onto The Street and do ANY of the things that Batman does on a nightly basis;
As he learns, immediately upon his return to Gotham from his initiatory Martial Arts Training Grand Tour of The World,
No Mere Mortal,
No Human Being
No Real Person
ever could, no matter
how extraordinary, rich, or well-resourced.
People can't fire pitons into gargoyles on skyscrapers and go swinging around major cities under cover of night, solve mysteries and thwart crime.
That just doesn't happen, ever -
That means, in which case, that it actually is impossible
(practically impossible in every way),
since believe me, in almost 80 Years of Batman's career to-date,
plenty will have tried and failed miserably to emulate his feats.
It's just simply not-possible, then, we must accept -
People just cannot do those things.
No Human Being could, it's just impossible.
Accepted - So,
How Do We Do It, then?
in that case..?
If you can't ever seem to get the kind of answers you want,
You must ask different questions.
If what you wish to do is something which it is not-possible for any human being in general or you in particular to ever do, then the solution is obvious.
Doing it, however --
That will require a non-negotioable, non-refundable investment of a great deal of both of Work, and
!!MAXIMUM EFFORT!!
on your part -
Just so as to ensure that you were, in fact, serious when you insisted that
This Task
was
What You Desired Most to Do in The Present Moment...?
In the case of the neophyte young Bruce Wayne of course, it was.
And of course it was.
And so when The Answer to The Problem,
the resolution to his crisis of mortal human constraint
came forth from out of The Deep and presented itself before him,
as Destiny would insist that it must, at that juncture --
The Answer was not a solution to be found anywhere within the mortal human realm or spheres of comptencies,
but rather one of pure, unrefined atavism.
I SHALL BECOME A BAT
The key point to understand here, is -
It's NOT a Disguise.
This is what
INT. HALL/LOUNGE - LATER (NIGHT)
Buffy bursts into the lounge, running as fast as she can. As the camera follows her she goes into slow motion, all sound bleeding out of the sound track.
WHISTLER (V.O.)
Bottom line is even if you see
'em coming, you're not ready
for the big moments. No one
asks for their life to change,
not really. But it does.
Buffy enters the --
INT. LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS - NIGHT
Sees the carnage.
She spots Kendra lying on the ground, goes to her, cradles her on her lap -- tries to stop the bleeding as Kendra dies right in front of her.
WHISTLER (V.O.)
So, what, are we helpless? Puppets?
No. The big moments are gonna
come, can't help that. It's what
you do afterwards that counts.
That's when you find out who you are.
ANGLE: BUFFY AND KENDRA
We see them from behind, Buffy still holding Kendra's head in her lap, when a policeman's GUN comes into frame.
COP
Freeze!!
ANGLE: TWO COPS
are pointing their weapons, looking mighty tense.
Buffy whips her head around to see them.
BLACK OUT.
Over the title:
TO BE CONTINUED:
WHISTLER (V.O.)
You'll see what I mean.
END OF SHOW
WHISTLER
As Angel approaches Buffy, sword in hand.
SPIKE
God, he's going to kill her. . .
After a moment of intense worry, he shrugs, takes off.
Angel approaches Buffy. She tries to move from the corner, but he moves with her. She's boxed in.
He plays the sword near her face, loving this.
ANGEL
That's everything, huh? No weapons, no friends.
No hope. Take all that away and what's left?
Buffy stares at him, his words hitting home. She looks exhausted, and terribly sad. She shuts her eyes.
He lunges, shooting his arm out, the sword straight at her face.
Without opening her eyes she slams her palms together over the blade, stopping it an inch from her face.
She opens her eyes.
BUFFY
Me.
She jerks the sword back, knocking the hilt onto his face, kicking him solidly in the chest.
Argue in the Direction of Peace
in the direction of Peace.”
Martin:
You got everything money can buy, except what it can't.
Its Pride.
Pride is what got your ass out here,
and losing is what brought ya back.
But people like you,
they need to be tested.
They need a Challenge.
Mason 'The Line' Dixon:
But you know that ain't never gunna happen,
there ain't anybody out there Martin.
Martin:
Theres always somebody out there. Always.
And when that time comes
and you find something standing if front of you,
Something that ain't runnin'
and ain't backin'-up and is hittin'-on you
and your too damn tired to breathe.
You find that situation on you,
that good, 'cuz that's
Baptisim Under FIRE!
Oh you get thru that and
you find the only kind of respect
that matters in This World,
Self-Respect.

The Darkest Universe
Hot Wisdom
In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.
Drive your cart and your plow over the bones of the dead.
The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.
Prudence is a rich ugly old maid courted by Incapacity.
He who desires but acts not, breeds pestilence.
The cut worm forgives the plow.
Dip him in the river who loves water.
A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.
He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star.
Eternity is in love with the productions of time.
The busy bee has no time for sorrow.
The hours of folly are measur'd by the clock, but of wisdom: no clock can measure.
All wholsom food is caught without a net or a trap.
Bring out number weight & measure in a year of dearth.
No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings.
A dead body, revenges not injuries.
The most sublime act is to set another before you.
If the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise.
Folly is the cloke of knavery.
Shame is Prides cloke.
Prisons are built with stones of Law, Brothels with bricks of Religion.
The pride of the peacock is the glory of God.
The lust of the goat is the bounty of God.
The wrath of the lion is the wisdom of God.
The nakedness of woman is the work of God.
Excess of sorrow laughs. Excess of joy weeps.
The roaring of lions, the howling of wolves, the raging of the stormy sea, and the destructive sword, are portions of eternity too great for the eye of man.
The
Joys impregnate. Sorrows bring forth.
Let man wear the fell of the lion, woman the fleece of the sheep.
The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.
The selfish smiling fool, & the sullen frowning fool, shall be both thought wise, that they may be a rod.
What is now proved was once, only imagin'd.
The rat, the mouse, the
The cistern contains; the fountain overflows.
One thought, fills immensity.
Always be ready to speak your mind, and a base man will avoid you.
Every thing possible to be believ'd is an image of truth.
The eagle never lost so much time, as when he submitted to learn of the crow.
The
Think in the morning. Act in the noon. Eat in the evening. Sleep in the night.
He who has suffer'd you to impose on him knows you.
As the plow follows words, so God rewards prayers.
The tygers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.
Expect poison from the standing water.
You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.
Listen to the fools reproach! it is a kingly title!
The eyes of fire, the nostrils of air, the mouth of water, the beard of earth.
The weak in courage is strong in cunning.
The apple tree never asks the beech how he shall grow, nor the lion, the horse, how he shall take his prey.
The thankful reciever bears a plentiful harvest.
If others had not been foolish, we should be so.
The soul of sweet delight, can never be defil'd.
When thou seest an Eagle, thou seest a portion of Genius, lift up thy head!
As the catterpiller chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys.
To create a little flower is the labour of ages.
Damn, braces: Bless relaxes.
The best wine is the oldest, the best water the newest.
Prayers plow not! Praises reap not!
Joys laugh not! Sorrows weep not!
The head Sublime, the heart Pathos, the genitals Beauty, the hands & feet Proportion.
As the air to a bird of the sea to a fish, so is contempt to the contemptible.
The crow wish'd every thing was black, the owl, that every thing was white.
Exuberance is Beauty.
If the lion was advised by the
Improvement makes strait roads, but the crooked roads without Improvement, are roads of Genius.
Sooner murder an infant in its cradle than nurse unacted desires.
Where man is not nature is barren.
Truth can never be told so as to be understood, and not be believ'd.
Enough! or Too much!
(Plate 11)
The ancient Poets animated all sensible objects with Gods or Geniuses, calling them by the names and adorning them with the properties of woods, rivers, mountains, lakes, cities, nations, and whatever their enlarged & numerous senses could percieve.
And particularly they studied the genius of each city & country, placing it under its mental deity.
Till a system was formed, which some took advantage of & enslav'd the vulgar by attempting to realize or abstract the mental deities from their objects; thus began Priesthood.
Choosing forms of worship from poetic tales.
And a length they pronounc'd that the Gods had order'd such things.
Thus men forgot that All deities reside in the human breast.
