Man on the Train: I haven't seen too many around lately. Things have been tough lately for dreamers. They say dreaming is dead, no one does it anymore. It's not dead it's just that it's been forgotten, removed from our language. Nobody teaches it so nobody knows it exists. The dreamer is banished to obscurity. Well, I'm trying to change all that, and I hope you are too. By dreaming, every day. Dreaming with our hands and dreaming with our minds. Our planet is facing the greatest problems it's ever faced, ever. So whatever you do, don't be bored, this is absolutely the most exciting time we could have possibly hoped to be alive. And things are just starting.
Man 3: If the world we are forced to accept is false and nothing is true then everything is possible
Man 4: On the way to discover what we love we will find everything we hate everything that blocks our path to desire
Man 2: Comfort will never be comfortable for those who seek what is not on the market. The systematic questioning of everything that is happiness
Man 1: we will cut the vocal cords of every empowered speaker, we will yank social symbols through the looking glass ,we will devalue society's currency, to confront the familiar
Man 4: Society is a fraud so complete and venal the it demands to be destroyed beyond the power of memory to recall its existence
Man 3: Where there is fire we will carry gasoline
Man 4: To interrupt the continuum of everyday experience and all the normal expectations that go with it
Man 2: To live as if something actually depended on ones actions
Man 1: To rupture the spell of the ideology of commodified consumer society, so our repressed desires of more authentic nature can come forward
Man 3: To demonstrate the contrast between what life presently is and what its could be
Man 1: To immerse our selves in the oblivion of actions,to know were actually making it happen
Man 2: To live with an intensity never before known, to exchange love and hate, life and death, terror and redemption, repulsions and attractions
Man 3: A affirmation of freedom so reckless and unqualified it requires a total denial of every kind of restraint and denial
They say that dreams are only real as long as they last. Couldn't you say the same thing about life?
