What are some sweet things 80’s and Old Man Terry would say to beloved?
-”I won’t bullshit you. I consider myself a...as say they, connoisseur of the finer things in life. Yeah, I enjoy a good car or two. Good wine. Suits. A nice view. And you. You’re one of the finer things I own. The finest. All of this? It’s worth shit next to you. Would you believe that? Because it’s true.”-
-”Of course they’re all staring! I mean, look at you! Everyone else is a piss poor excuse for beauty in this city, except for you --- and you’re all mine.”-
-”When you reach my particular age, your focus clears. Life boils down to essentials. Boils down to a big beachside house and the good company of someone who you can tell anything --- and you know me. Inside out. You know what and who I am. I think that’s something. More than you know.”-
-”No shit you need to be treated! Who do you think I am!? If I say you deserve it, you deserve it! I don’t care what you say!”-
-”Is it wrong that I’m pissed off!? That I didn’t know you sooner? Because I am, and if I wanna fucking drink to drown that crap, then I’ll drink to drown that crap and if I’m perfectly clear, I don’t think all the Whiskey in that cellar will cut it, my dear.”-
-”When those bad memories come, all the bullshit and everything that’s better forgotten, you’re all there is. Did you know that?”-
-”Monogrammed, carved white silver from the Bahia emerald collection. It’s one of a kind. An old family heirloom. It belonged to my mother back in the days and it fits your finger perfectly. Had it slightly tweaked. I want you to have it. Wear it.”-
-”Of course I’m jealous! Are you crazy!? Who isn’t jealous of something invaluable!?”-
-”Look at me. I said look at me! Don’t you ever dare say something like that about yourself in front of me or behind my back ever again. Don’t do it in my company, in front of others or anywhere, ever.  Are we clear? Why? What do you mean ‘why’!? Because it’s crap and it’s all lies!”-
-”You sure know how to make an old man feel happy.”-
-”Me and John, we had a good friend in ‘Nam. A real joker. It was always us three. He went by Ponytail, because he had this thin wisp of greased up hair tied at the nape of his neck and our commanding officers always yelled at him for it to cut it off and be presentable. He never did. Died stubbornly wearing it, poor sucker. I wear it for him now. He’d like you a lot, you know?”-
-”Sit with me. I want to play you a special song.”-
-”I could keep you safe. Protected. Taken care of. In every sense.Think about it? Think about a life where they’re all too afraid to look at you? Touch you? Ever hurt you again? Where there’s nothing to be lacked for because I’ll provide everything? All I ask in return is your love Devotion. Let me do it. Let me prove my loyalty.”-
-”Yeah, I’ve seen and done pretty much all of it. Is it bad that I’m content just being here with you until the end?”-
-”Never really talked about this to anyone, but when I was a kid, I was a skinny sort. Wimpy. Scrawny. They used to call me Twig in the army. Sappy bullshit. Hated that nickname and I hated that kid. There was very little to be content about back then, but I like to imagine you were there somehow with me from day one.”-
-”Remember when I pulled up that old Ford and put on those clothes and went around pretending I was some poor asshole to mess around that Larusso kid a few years ago? Yeah. Those were the days. Sometimes I still think about that. Think about us just being, hopping into that car and getting the fuck out of here.”-
-”C’mon. Read to me. I need to hear it in your voice.”-
-”You make me feel young again.”-
