From the brilliant film Beginners by Mike Mills
“
The father: ‘Well, let’s say that since you were little, you always dreamed of getting a lion. And you wait, and you wait, and you wait, and you wait, but the lion doesn’t come. And along comes a giraffe. You can be alone, or you can be with the giraffe.’
The son: ‘I’d wait for the lion.’
The father: ‘That’s why I worry about you.’
