“See, it’s like, what they did to me, that showed who they were, not who I am. This is going to show who I am, and I’m going to make the skies over Carthage so beautiful…. Just for this one day, something beautiful, instead of something ugly. It doesn’t have to be permanent to exist in memory, right?”

“I like your new way to fight.” 普通だったら激しい口論になってもおかしくない議論と説得合戦を、裸で抱き合いキスしながら進めているアラウンド50の円熟カップルw いいわあ…。

緊急事態発生中でも、この心の余裕とユーモア感覚w いいなー♪
