from The Expendables 2
The airport where all movies end:
the scenery's mobile, the people too
(the people want to be moved),
and the rounded stairways join set pieces
like farewells in a series arc. I don't
understand how you write good scripts
without knowing there are gods. I've
learned the same things we've all learned:
when a man runs through my hotel suite
I can expect another half a second later.
