Mr. Eastwood

“I have engaged a place here for three months: 

forsooth, I am the greatest fool to allow 

my courage to be sapped from me 

by the climate of Italy. 

Now and again 

I am troubled by the thought : 

WHAT NEXT? 

My ‘future’ is The Darkest Thing in The World to me,

 but as there still remains a great deal for me to do, 

I suppose I ought rather to 

think of doing this than of 

My Future, 

and leave the rest to THEE 

and [to] 

The Gods.”

Seamus :

You had him, Mr. Eastwood! 

You could have just walked away, 

and nobody would o' thought the less o' ya for it. 

All it would have been was words... 

hot air from a buffoon. 

Instead you let him rile ya...

rile ya into playing His Game, 

His Way, playing His Rules.

Marty: 

Seamus, relax, 

I know what I'm doing.

Maggie: 

He reminds me of poor Martin.

Seamus: 

Aye.

Marty: 

Who?

Seamus: 

Me brother.

Marty: 

(surprised) 

Wait a minute...

You have a brother named 

Martin McFly? 

(they stop walking)

Seamus: 

Had a brother. 

(Marty gets the "I-don't-need-this" expression on his face.) 

Martin used to let men provoke him into fighting. 

He was concerned people would think him a coward if he refused. 

That's how he got a bowie knife shoved through his belly in a saloon in Virginia City. 

Never considered the future, poor Martin, 

God rest his soul. 

(walks off)

Maggie: 

Sure'n hope your considerin' the future, Mr. Eastwood. 

(she follows after Seamus with William in her arms.)

Marty: (to himself) 

I think about it all the time.

"Don't. Be. A Turd. 

If you are Strong, 

Be A Protector. 

If you are Smart, 

Be A Humble Influencer. 

Strength and Intelligence 

can be weapons, 

so do NOT wield them 

against The Weak. 

That makes you A Bully. 

Be BIGGER than that."
