经典对白:

The Beach

My name is Richard.

So what else do you need to know?

Stuff  about my family or where I’m from.

None of that matters.

Not once you cross the ocean and cut yourself loose.

Looking for something more beautiful something more exciting

and yet, I admit something more dangerous.

After 18 hours in the back of an airplane three dumb movies, two plastic meals, six beers and absolutely no sleep, I finally touched down in Bangkok.

‘Hey, how about you? You want to go to the waterfall? Cheap for you, come on.’

‘Hey, you need somewhere to stay?’

‘I’ll be fine. I’ll find my own place, thanks.’

‘What do you want, man?’

And this is it. Bangkok, good time city, gateway¹ to southeast Asia.

Where dollar and Deutschmarks.

Get turned into counterfeit² watches and genuine scars.

‘It’s a good time, boys? Girls? This is where the hungry come to feed. You wanna drink snake blood?

‘Wait a minute. Did you say snake blood?’

‘Oh yeah.’

‘No, thanks.’

‘What is wrong with snake blood?’

‘I just don’t like the idea.’

‘Or maybe you scared? Afraid of something new?’

‘No, I just don’t like the idea, that’s all.’

‘Ha ha! Like every tourist. You are all the same just like America.’

So never refuse an invitation.

Never resist the unfamiliar³.

Never fall to be polite.

‘Gentlemen, that was excellent.’

Never outstay your welcome.

Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience.

And if hurts it’s probably worth it.
