Edward Furlong Monologues

So I guess this is where I tell you what I learned - my conclusion, right? Well, my conclusion is: Hate is baggage. Life's too short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it. Derek says it's always good to end a paper with a quote. He says someone else has already said it best. So if you can't top it, steal from them and go out strong. So I picked a guy I thought you'd like. 'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.'

Derek wasn't afraid of anything, he showed the rest of us that we didn't have to be afraid of Blacks. It's like training a dog, he said. Don't show any fear and let him know who's the boss. He can bark and growl and show his teeth, let him. It makes him feel good. But deep down inside he knows you own him, and at any moment you can kick his ass just cause you feel like it.
