You see that house? That is where I was born. My mother said to me: “Gaston, the world is a beautiful place, and you must spread joy and contentment everywhere you go”. And so I became a waiter. Well, I know it is not a great philosophy but… well, fuck you ! I can live my life in my own way if I want to ! Fuck off. Don’t come following me.

I got [a son]. Twenty-two years old. When he was nine years old he ran away from a fight. I saw it; I was so embarrassed I almost threw up. I said, “I’m gonna make a man outa you if I have to break you in two tryin’”. And I made a man out of him. When he was sixteen _we_ had a fight. Hit me in the jaw - a big kid. Haven’t seen him for two years. Kids… work your heart out…

A winner is someone who doesn’t knock me off my surfboard, and break it when I’m trying to get some big waves. Especially Tank, he’s definitely not a winner. He’s a dirty trash can full of poop.

Now, a staple of the superhero mythology is, there’s the superhero and there’s the alter ego. Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker. When that character wakes up in the morning, he’s Peter Parker. He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man. And it is in that characteristic Superman stands alone. Superman didn’t become Superman. Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he’s Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red “S”, that’s the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears - the glasses, the business suit - that’s the costume. That’s the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent. He’s weak… he’s unsure of himself… he’s a coward. Clark Kent is Superman’s critique on the whole human race

What’s the weather like out there? “It’s hot. Damn hot! Real hot! Hottest things is my shorts. I could cook things in it. A little crotch pot cooking.” Well, can you tell me what it feels like. “Fool, it’s hot! I told you again! Were you born on the sun? It’s damn hot! I saw - It’s so damn hot, I saw little guys, their orange robes burst into flames. It’s that hot! Do you know what I’m talking about.” What do you think it’s going to be like tonight? “It’s gonna be hot and wet! That’s nice if you’re with a lady, but it ain’t no good if you’re in the jungle.”

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl. We ate lobster and drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn’t I have THAT day over… and over… and over…?
