"We have been given a gift, we have been given a role, and that role is called Rock'n'Roll."

How much I love books.

Bruno?

Yes?

Isn't it good to be alive?

No thank you, I don't want to buy anything. 

I'm not trying to sell you anything! It's Leo! Listen. I was sitting here drinking a coffee in Starbucks and suddenly it hit me.

Who hit you?

Ach, listen! It hit me how good it is to be alive. Alive! And I wanted to tell you. Do you understand what I'm saying? I'm saying life is a thing of beauty, Bruno. A thing of beauty and a joy forever. 

There was a pause.

Sure, whatever you say Leo. Life is a beauty.

And a joy forever, I said.

All right, Bruno said. And a joy.

I waited.

Forever.

I was about to hang up when Bruno said, Leo?

Yes?

Did you mean human life?
