Like those elephants in Africa, so many people, during that terrible time of chaos and desperation, seemed to lose themselves, seemed to lose their innate sense of humanity. Dr. Follette never did.
She never did.
Alan never did, never.
That's why I admire him.
In fact, all the characters I admire are those who never lose themselves, never lose their innate sincerity and humanity.
2. 永远忠实于朋友
刚刚回顾了下416,就是shirley为自己得Alzheimer's的父亲申请安乐死的那集,深深感动于Alan在长篇closing时骤然停止,然后又突然说起了自己最好的朋友denny正在early stage of Alzheimer's.
当Alan用特有的语调说出下面这段话时,我想铁石心肠也会被这样忠诚的友谊打动的吧
He trusts me to know when that day has arrived.
He trusts me to safeguard his dignity, his legacy and self-respect.
He trusts me to prevent his end from becoming a mindless piece of mush.
And I will. It will be an unbearably painful thing for me but I will do it because I love him. I will end his suffering. Because it's the only decent, humane, and loving thing a person can do.
记得tp8里的女律师对别人说过:
你可以怀疑Alan的很多方面,但永远不要怀疑他对朋友的忠诚。
3. Long long closing
呵呵,我觉得写下这个小标题就啥都不用说了
这就是Alan的trademark嘛。。。
关于Alan closing的套路,大家已经总结很多了
我只想说一句
When Alan is giving his long and maybe predictable closing speech as usual,
we are obsessed with him as usual.
