That is more important.


Alfred: I'll get this to Mr. Fox, but no more. I've sewn you up, I've set your bones, but I won't bury you. I've buried enough members of the Wayne family. 

Bruce Wayne: You'll leave me? 

Alfred: You see only one end to your journey. Leaving is all I have to make you understand, you're not Batman anymore. You have to find another way. You used to talk about finishing a life beyond that awful cape. 

Bruce Wayne: Rachel died believing that we would be together; that was my life beyond the cape. I can't just move on. She didn't, she couldn't. 

Alfred: What if she had? What if, before she died, she wrote a letter saying she chose Harvey Dent over you? And what if, to spare your pain, I burnt that letter? 

Bruce Wayne: How dare you use Rachel to try to stop me? 

Alfred: I am using the truth, Master Wayne. Maybe it's time we all stop trying to outsmart the truth and let it have its day. I'm sorry. 

Bruce Wayne: You're sorry? You expect to destroy my world and then think we're going to shake hands? 

Alfred: No... no, I know what this means. 

Bruce Wayne: What does it mean? 

Alfred: It means your hatred... and it also means losing someone that I have cared for since I first heard his cries echo through this house. But it might also mean saving your life. And that is more important. 

Bruce Wayne: Goodbye, Alfred.

Curhat Buat Sahabat

Curhat Buat Sahabat
By Dee Lestari
Dari buku Rectoverso




Sahabatku, usai tawa ini
Izinkan aku bercerita:

Telah jauh, ku mendaki 
Sesak udara di atas puncak khayalan 
Jangan sampai kau di sana

Telah jauh, ku terjatuh 
Pedihnya luka di dasar jurang kecewa
Dan kini sampailah, aku di sini...

Yang cuma ingin diam, duduk di tempatku
Menanti seorang yang biasa saja
Segelas air di tangannya, kala kuterbaring... sakit

Yang sudi dekat, mendekap tanganku 
Mencari teduhnya dalam mataku
Dan berbisik : "Pandang aku, kau tak sendiri,oh dewiku..."
Dan demi Tuhan, hanya itulah yang 
Itu saja kuinginkan

Sahabatku, bukan maksud hati membebani, 
Tetapi...

Telah lama, kumenanti 
Satu malam sunyi untuk kuakhiri
Dan usai tangis ini, aku kan berjanji...

Untuk diam, duduk di tempatku
Menanti seorang yang biasa saja
Segelas air di tangannya, kala kuterbaring... sakit

Menentang malam, tanpa bimbang lagi
Demi satu dewi yang lelah bermimpi
Dan berbisik : "Selamat tidur, tak perlu bermimpi bersamaku..."

Wahai Tuhan, jangan bilang lagi itu terlalu tinggi
