17th Letter; video

[It's late morning, and Franz is rather fetching in a gray three-piece suit. It appears he's stopped in the kitchen for a moment. It's a pleasant scene, nearly as put-together as a magazine scene.]

Maybe I'm just in a bit of a strange mood, but, I want to know - what are you thankful for?

I'm thankful that we, as Newcomers, have each other. And I invite any of you who've just turned up on this dreadful island to please feel free to ask me anything you'd like about life here. I'm sort of an expert.

[Franz looks thoughtful, and then amused.]

I suppose I'm also thankful that I got all of my shopping done ahead of time.

So can poverty and desperation.

Or having an axe to grind.

No one's safe. That's the point. That's why they need a watchman.

Axes take too long.
discretion: (see right through you)

And what makes the this watchman any different, any safer from corruption? I've met plenty of men who thought they were just, and most of them just wanted to force their beliefs on the world - beliefs which held them in supremacy.

Oh, Franz, play right into my hands /cackles

Who watches the watchmen? Used to be painted on the side of a wall. Better said out loud.

Still don't know the answer.

One way or another, what you're advocating is one man's law above all others.

No. What is right or wrong. Doesn't matter the law. People do good things or bad things. Punish those who do bad things.

Then what is the authority of right or wrong, if the law is not involved? Good and bad are subjective.
aprettybutterfly: (A: plain mask)

souls are irrelevant

[personal profile] aprettybutterfly 2012-10-20 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
No. Good is good. Bad is bad. There is no middle ground.
discretion: (speechless)

[personal profile] discretion 2012-10-22 10:07 am (UTC)(link)
Oh wow.

It actually kind of took me a long time to realize you're just crazy.

Called it before. Doesn't make what I say wrong. There's only black and white. No grey.

...Being crazy or called crazy doesn't make you wrong, but seeing things in black and white does.

Well, good luck with that, I suppose.

[personal profile] aprettybutterfly 2012-10-26 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
I'd say good luck to you. But you'll fail.

...Well, thanks for the little chat anyway. It was very enlightening. [It was not enlightening.]
