访谈录 2011-05-31&06-02 苏格兰情人伊万·麦格雷戈专

 -Ah, now, you, you, you said a couple of things, you find up a, a different, perhaps the negative way about growing old. Any, any positive view? There must be positive angles. 

-Our inner advantages. 

-True. 

-You’re older, you’re wiser. Your movies will cost less soon. 

-Right.

-Right? Here is a wired one. Here is a wired one I found out as you get older. I took a shot in the groin the other day. I took one of those, yeah, one of those shots, that guy…

-The guy? 

-Yes. 

-Did the ball…

-The biggest fear. 

-I know, but the guy, who did this to you? 

-Now, my kid, my kid, we were doing a little basketball boom¹, then he… 

-I see. 

-Yeah. 

-No, I didn’t take it. It wasn’t a fight. It wasn’t a fight, Yeah. No. I took a shot and then we got known that’s the worst pain in the world. It didn’t hurt much as I though. 

-Really? 

-Yes. Well, I will tell you why. I figured it out, coz when you’re younger, it hurts because when you are younger, down there, things are just, they are more compact², you know what I mean? No, but you know, when you are older, there is, there is a little more slack³, you know, there is, there is gave, there is little gave, which is important. I, I think, that, that’s evolution; that’s the body’s way of protecting the species⁴. This is my pee body war winning theory. That, no, because if you think about when you are 20 and you are 30, you need, you need what’s down there. So your bodies once have sent a message-Don’t Get Hit Here. Make Sure. But when you’re older, you don’t, you know, they are kind-of like tonsils now, you know what I mean? 

-Tonsils. 

-Yeah.

-Yeah, well, again. 

-That’s kind of the image once…

-Yeah. One lower, something, it’s wired, coz, I like, this is too much. I don’t have to tell you the guys this, they know, but some days, some days, the left’s lower, some days, the right’s lower. It’s kind-of like the world’s slowest race to the ground. That’s what I mean.
