Road Trip Script

“You got the makings of greatness in you, but you got to take the helm and chart your own course. Stick to it, no matter the squalls! And when the time comes you get the chance to really test the cut of your sails, and show what you’re made of!”

The Awakening by Sonny Carroll

A time comes in your life when you finally get it…
When in the midst of all your fears and insanity you
stop dead in your tracks and somewhere, the voice
inside your head cries out – ENOUGH!

Enough fighting and crying, or struggling to hold on. And, like a child quieting down after a blind tantrum, your sobs begin to subside, you shudder once or twice, you blink back your tears and through a mantle of wet lashes, you begin to look at the world through new eyes.

This is your awakening…

Shut down the engine and get back to neutral

A friend in need is a pest.
I’ll stick it out with you, because you’re desperate.
I’m gonna try to give you a little bit more time, because somebody can’t close.

If you want my help, you gotta listen.
Number one: Stop being a pussy.
Number two: Make a move.
Number three…you know it.

Here’s what’s gonna happen, Tonto.
Kimosabe’s gonna have some flavor,
I’m gonna choose not to eat with you.
I like to recharge my batteries,
and shut down the engines,
and get myself back to neutral.

When the meal’s over with, I will talk to you.
I don’t want to get into what happened last night,
’cause it’s only gonna make me mad.

Let’s get through today,
let’s keep our eye on the prize, let’s focus, and let’s close some ass.

Teacher Tips

“Teach a child how to think, not what to think.”
— Sidney Sugarman

No one, I think, can quite grasp the totality of his ambitions-his voracious reading in history and politics, in the literatures of Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East. For me the characteristic gesture of both his cultural and political writing (which, despite his claim to lead “two lives’” always seemed to me all of a piece) was the turn from the straight, predictable path, the reversal of field, the interrupted itinerary.
