Unstoppable


“Sit down. You’ll be all right; just work hard, learn your words, turn up on time, be bold and the greater gods will come to your aid.”
-Anthony Hopkins

This comes from a man who has an incredibly versatile filmography and doesn’t blink at all during a very influential film.
I will listen to this man, I've decided.
Anthony Hopkins, I can do this.
Oh, call you Tony? If you insist . . .
Tony, thank you for this.
I will be all right.
Work hard?
            What do you think I’ve been doing Tony?
Learn my words?
            Ha! I live my words.
Turn up on time?
            . . . progress . . . baby steps . . .
Be bold?
I will be so bold the world will feel like they just got twerked upon at the MTV Music Awards.
The greater gods?
No—God.
The God won’t come to my aid . . .
Because Tony, he’s already here.
            Giving me the strength to work hard,
            Helping me to live those words,
            Waking me up from the silliness that makes me late,
            Showing me that I have the courage to be bold.
Oh, Tony, I’ll be much more than all right my friend--


I’ll be unstoppable.
