Marriage is the tomb of love.婚姻是愛情的墳墓,這句話據說出自於一位唐璜型的人物Giacomo Girolamo Casanova。 不消說,這句話長期以來觸怒了許多人妻,她們懷抱著夢想進入婚姻,沒想到竟然一腳踏入愛情墳墓,這教人如何心平氣和的面對? 於是許多人前仆後繼、多方舉證,想證明這句話的謬誤,一直到現在的21世紀,仍然有許多兩性專家不斷的在此著墨,教大家如何努力為愛情保鮮,不要結完婚就進入墳墓,過起活死人的日子。 不過,抵抗愛情的衰亡基本上就像對抗地心引力一樣,你可以持之以恆的努力鍛練,讓自己維持比較良好的體態,但是無法改變身上肉肉的行進方向。 對了,今日是世界末日,就來聽聽The End of the World...............................................的原唱Skeeter Davis唱的另一首歌:
You say that you're fallingBut what can I do?You want me to help youBut I'm falling too I know that we're wrong dearBut when I'm with youI can't help you darlin''Cause I'm falling too You belong to anotherWhose arms have grown coldBut, you must keep the vows dearAlthough they've grown old You can never be free dearThough our love is trueI can't help you darlin''Cause I'm falling too We could never be happyLiving in sinOur love's a temptationBut we just can't win You ask me to help youBut what can I do?I can't help you darlin''Cause I'm falling too
在福爾摩斯冒險史The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes中,熱情女A Case of Identity是一個蠻特別的案子。這個故事中沒有殺人見血、搶奪偷盜的情節,嫌犯的行逕可能連犯罪都不算,但是卻讓人感到無比的邪惡。 (以下有雷,未讀者慎入。) 故事如下:年輕的瑪麗小姐(Mary Sutherland)因為未婚夫在前往結婚教堂的途中失蹤了,所以請求福爾摩斯幫她找尋。 福爾摩斯接下這個尋人案,經過調查,揭發了離奇荒謬的真相。 原來瑪麗小姐親生父親早逝,母親再嫁一位年齡少了15歳的繼父,而這位比瑪麗小姐年長沒幾歳的繼父,成為一手掌管家中財務的一家之主。 瑪麗小姐得到父親部份遺產,這份遺產每年的孳息當然歸屬瑪麗小姐,但是瑪麗小姐並不計較,她交由繼父支配金錢,自己只依賴打字工作收入維生。 但是年輕的瑪麗小姐總有婚嫁的一日,屆時,她的財產與孳息自然隨她進入夫家,對於為錢結婚的繼父而言,實在無法捨棄這筆豐厚的收入。 為了阻止這一日的到來,繼父與母親立下一個計謀,繼父謊稱出差而離家,再以另一個名字和外型接近瑪麗小姐,展開熱烈追求,讓瑪麗小姐陷入情網無法自拔。最後,繼父在婚禮當天演出失蹤記,讓瑪麗小姐一顆心懸在半空中,無法回到現實。
一個會加入Young Republicans的年輕人有什麼特質,其實沒有定論,但是影集中Michael演出Alex P. Keaton是個頭腦精明、能言善道、野心勃勃、渴望名成利就的高中生,他重視物質,每次出場都穿襯衫打領帶;他喜歡名利,每次行事都會算計能獲得什麼好處。也許,這就是編劇心目中young Republican的特質吧。
Once that you've decided on a killing First you make a stone of your heart And if you find that your hands are still willing Then you can turn a murder into art
There really isn't any need for bloodshed You just do it with a little more finesse If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee Then it avoids an awful lot of mess
It's murder by numbers, one, two, three It's as easy to learn as your ABC Murder by numbers, one, two, three It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Now if you have a taste for this experience And you're flushed with your very first success Then you must try a twosome or a threesome And you'll find your conscience bothers you much less
Because murder is like anything you take to It's a habit-forming need for more and more You can bump off every member of your family And anybody else you find a bore
Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three It's as easy to learn as your ABC Murder by numbers, one, two, three It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Now you can join the ranks of the illustrious In history's great dark hall of fame All our greatest killers were industrious At least the ones that we all know by name
But you can reach the top of your profession If you become the leader of the land For murder is the sport of the elected And you don't need to lift a finger of your hand
Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three It's as easy to learn as your ABC Murder by numbers, one, two, three It's as easy to learn as your A, B, C, D, E
People,
People who need people,
Are the luckiest people in the world
We're children, needing other children
And yet letting a grownup pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children
Lovers are very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person one very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
