John Locke

The man's enlarged my mind. He's 
 a poet-warrior in a classic sense. 
 I mean, sometimes he'll-well, you 
 say hello to him, right? And he'll 
 just walk right by you and he won't 
 even notice you. And then suddenly 
 he'll grab you and he'll throw you 
 in a corner and he'll say "Do you 
 know that the 'if' is the middle 
 word in 'life'? If you can keep 
 your head when all about you are 
 losing theirs and blaming it on 
 you. If you can trust yourself 
 when all men doubt you." I'm a 
 little man, I'm a little man. 
 He's a great man.
 (a beat)
 "I should have been a pair of ragged 
 claws scuttling across floors of 
 silent seas."
 He can be terrible, and he can be 
 mean, and he can be right. He's 
 fighting the war. He's a great 
 man. I mean, I wish I had words 
 you know? I wish I had words. I 
 could tell you something like, the 
 other day he wanted to kill me.
 The heads. You're looking at the 
 heads. Sometimes he goes too far, 
 and he's the first one to admit 
 it.
 Wrong! Wrong! If you could have 
 heard the man just two days ago, 
 if you could've heard him then. 
 God. You were gonna call him crazy?
 He feels comfortable with his 
 people. He forgets himself with 
 his people. He forgets himself.
 Why? Why would a nice guy like 
 you want to kill a genius? Feeling 
 pretty good, huh? Why? Do you 
 know that the man really likes 
 you?
 There's something happening out 
 here, man. You know something, 
 man? I know something you that 
 you don't know. That's right, 
 Jack . The man is clear in his 
 mind, but his soul is mad. Oh, 
 yeah. He's dying, I think. He 
 hates all this. He hates it! But 
 the man's a...He reads poetry out 
 loud, all right? And a voice...he 
 likes you 'cause you're still alive. 
 He's got plans for you. No, I'm 
 not gonna help you. You're gonna 
 help him, man. You're gonna help 
 him. I mean, what are they gonna 
 sat when he's gone? 'Cause he 
 dies when it dies, when it dies, 
 he dies! What are they gonna say 
 about him? He was a kind man? He 
 was a wise man? He has plans? He 
 has wisdom? Bullshit, man! Am I 
 gonna be the one that's gonna set 
 them straight? Look at me! Wrong!
