The Other Side of Lis Wickham

Andrew Martin

Andrew Martin:

I've always tried to make sense of things.

There must be some reason I am as I am.

As you can see, Madame Chairman, I am no longer immortal.

You have arranged to die?

Andrew Martin:

In a sense I have.

I am growing old, my body is deteriorating, and like all of you, will eventually cease to function.

As a robot, I could have lived forever.

But I tell you all today, I would rather die a man, than live for all eternity a machine.

Why do you want this?

Andrew Martin:

To be acknowledged for who and what I am, no more, no less.

Not for acclaim, not for approval, but, the simple truth of that recognition.

This has been the elemental drive of my existence, and it must be achieved, if I am to live or die with dignity.

Mister Martin, what you are asking for is extremely complex and controversial.

It will not be an easy decision.

I must ask for your patience while I take the necessary time to make a determination of this extremely delicate matter.

Andrew Martin:

And I await your decision, Madame Chairman, thank-you for your patience.

[turns to Portia and whispers]

I tried.

----------------------------

Portia:

I like you.

I even understand you some of the time.

But I'm not about to invest my emotions in a machine.

----------------------------

Portia:

What's right for most people in most situations isn't right for everyone in every situation!

Real morality lies in following one's own heart.

-----------------------------

Portia:

But if this really works between us?

You and I will never be accepted.

We can't be married or anything.

------------------------------

Andrew Martin:

Do you know what it feels like to be in love with someone that is about to marry someone else?

------------------------------

Andrew:

[Immediately following the death of "Little Miss"]

Will every human being that I care for just... leave?

Portia:

I'm afraid so...

Andrew:

That won't do.

-----------------------------

Galatea:

In the words of the great Andrew Martin, "It's a pleasure to be of service".

Portia:

[looking to Andrew]

See you soon.

Siii un super finde tuvimos! (L) lo amé. Que cosa rara yo aca escribiendo en un blog :P. Me acabo de acordar de mi myspace, que lo super abandoné pobrecillo!!. Y supongo que Valelí también. Gracias por ese finde, que hicimos de todo, y comí como una gorda chanchaa, además al otro día el dia del padre, asique muchisimas más calorías. Si hoy fui al gym, resistí la tentación, del "doscorazones de feltfort" (chocolate) que me trajo mi mami, todo para que el viernes se vengan los churros! (L) (Ya veo que vamos, y no hay, o queda uno y justo lo compraron antes que nosotras y se lo comen adelante nuestro.. "musiquita asesina" chin chin "musiquita de sierra eléctrica" chi chin. jajajaja.Hoy, depués del gym, fui a la endocrinóloga, para llevarle los resultados del análisis de sangre, y paso algo horrible. Primero que es una boluda y la médica no sabe bien si estoi enferma o no ¬¬. Segundo cuando volvíamos, se puso al lado nuestro (mi papa y yo) un tipo con campera y capucha, (tenía cara de chorro) y nos miró mal, y me agarró el cagaso, o sea estaba con mi papá, pero daba miedo el tipo, no se violador y borracho (xD) La cuestión es que nos empezó a "encerrar" y justo llegamos a la puerta de Coto, y nos metimos, y el tipo hizo lo mismo. Nos quedamos viendo unas cremas, y el tipo paso, nos corrimos, y el tipo volvio a pasar. :S :S Horrible,. Nos quedamos un ratito más haciemdo tiempo, y salimos, y a una cuadra de mi casa, pasan 2 tipos fumando, pero fumando Marihuana, ensima cuando paso por al lado de nosotros, nos tiro todo el humo, y qedamos dados vuelta masomenos... Un día muyy felizzz ^^ ¬¬A todo esto se le suma, que estoi media mal por manza, no quiero molestarte con esto meli.. pero snif.. estoi como... nose rendida (? ya no hablamos, es sólo el saludo de la mañana. Y nose que pensar, a veces siento que es otra persona totalmente diferente con la que hablaba por msn. Bueno creo qe es eso, use tu blog para desahogarme, thank u babyy :)Loveee u (L)Lottie

Ian Wyndham:

I guess what I'm trying to say is...

I want to soldier on.

I really do.

Okay?

No.

Ian Wyndham:

No what?

I don’t... want to soldier on.

Ian, if I were to stay in London now, it would be for you.

For us.

And I would do that in a heartbeat if I knew we were really special.

Ian Wyndham:

We are.

Really?

You never tell me how you feel or talk about yourself.

You don't want to meet my family.

You forgot my graduation.

We run into my favorite student and you act as if he has something contagious.

Ian, I know you have the best intentions, but I feel like I'm a really high second priority to you. That hurts.

And the worst part is I'm starting to get used to it.

Ian Wyndham:

I don't understand.

I know.

That's what kills me.

If there had just been one day Ian, one day where nothing else matters but us.

Ian Wyndham:

I adore you.

I don't want to be adored, I want to be loved.

I can't do this anymore.

-------------------------------

Ian Wyndham:

I Love you.

Ooh I Love you too.

Ian Wyndham:

I wanna tell you why I love you.

It's... It's raining, you know that right.

Ian Wyndham:

I have to tell you this and you need to hear it.

I loved you since I met you, but I wouldn't allow myself to truly feel it until today.

I was always thinking ahead, making decisions soaked with fear...

Today, because of you... what I learned from you; every choice I made was different and my life has completely changed... and I've learned that if you do that, then you're living your life fully... it doesn't matter if you have five minutes or fifty years.

Samantha if not for today, if not for you I would never have known love at all...

So thank you for being the person who taught me to love... and to be love.

I don't know what to say.

Ian Wyndham:

You don't have to say anything...

I just wanted to tell you.

Noah:

My Dearest Allie.

I couldn't sleep last night because I know that it's over between us.

I'm not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real.

And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love.

The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me.

That's what I hope to give to you forever.

I love you.

I'll be seeing you.

Noah

---------------------------

Allie:

Why didn't you write me? Why? It wasn't over for me, I waited for you for seven years.

But now it's too late.

Noah:

I wrote you 365 letters.

I wrote you everyday for a year.

Allie:

You wrote me?

Noah:

Yes... it wasn't over, it still isn't over

---------------------------

Noah:

So it's not gonna be easy.

It's going to be really hard; we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you.

I want all of you, forever, everyday.

You and me... everyday.

-----------------------------

Allie:

Do you think our love can make miracles?

Duke:

I do.

------------------------------

Allie:

Do you think our love, can take us away together?

Duke:

I think our love can do anything we want it to.

Allie:

I love you.

Duke:

I love you, Allie.

Allie:

Good night.

Duke:

Good night.

I'll be seeing you.

Annie Nielsen:

Sometimes, when you lose, you win.

-------------------------

Chris Nielsen:

Thank you for every kindness.

Thank you for our children.

For the first time I saw them.

Thank you for being someone I was always proud to be with.

For your guts, for your sweetness.

For how you always looked, for how I always wanted to touch you.

God, you were my life.

I apologize for everytime I ever failed you.

Especially this one...

-------------------------

Chris Nielsen:

[to Ian]

If I was going through fucking HELL, I'd only want one person in the whole goddamn world by my side.

-------------------------

Albert:

You don't understand.

Chris Nielsen:

It's not about understanding... it's about not giving up!

---------------------------

Chris Nielsen:

I forgive you.

Annie Nielsen:

For killing my children and my sweet husband?

Chris Nielsen:

For being so wonderful a guy would choose hell over heaven just to be around you.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.

I love you straightforwardly without complexities or pride.

I love you because I know no other way then this.

So close that your hand, on my chest, is my hand.

So close, that when you close your eyes, I fall asleep.

------------------------

What's wrong with death sir?

What are we so mortally afraid of?

Why can't we treat death with a certain amount of humanity and dignity, and decency, and God forbid, maybe even humor.

Death is not the enemy gentlemen.

If we're going to fight a disease, let's fight one of the most terrible diseases of all, indifference.

-------------------------

I wanted to become a doctor so I could serve others.

And because of that, I've lost everything.

But I've also gained everything.

-------------------------

Now you have the ability to keep me from graduating.

You can keep me from getting the title and the white coat.

But you can't control my spirit, gentlemen.

You can't keep me from learning, you can't keep me from studying.

So you have a choice: you can have me as a professional colleague, passionate, or you can have me as an outspoken outsider, still adament.

Either way I'll probably still be viewed as a thorn.

But I promise you one thing: I am a thorn that will not go away

Charlie:

Is that all?
