what do you believe in?
In Bull Durham, Annie Savoy (Susan Sarandon) asks Crash Davis (Kevin Costner) what he believes in. His response:
I believe in the soul…the cock…the pussy…the small of a woman’s back…the hanging curve ball…high fiber…good scotch…I believe that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas eve, and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.
Here’s what I believe in:
I believe in an orgasm a day. I believe that parents are role models and should practice what they preach. I believe in reading until my eyes hurt. I believe everyone should grow up with a brother or sister to play with. I believe people should fill their passports with stamps before they expire. I believe that making love to someone you love is a gazillion times better than fucking someone you like. I believe in strawberries, ice cream, cheese, and shrimp. I believe most people are way too uptight about sex. I believe in eating for pleasure. I believe in drinking for pleasure. I believe that windows should not be used as mirrors. I believe in socks with no holes. I believe that being rich is a bad thing. I believe everyone should strap on a backpack and wander around alone in a country whose language you don’t understand. I believe in walking instead of driving. I believe in listening over speaking. I believe in guys asking girls out. I believe in taking pictures. I believe in writing, no matter what. I believe that making people laugh, especially kids is the most fun one can have in life. I believe that time truly stops when you’re making out with someone. I believe in aliens. I believe that people know they are in love the minute they catch themselves watching their partner sleep. I believe that when people lose contact with old friends, it’s because the connection that was no longer exists. I believe that most of us are lazy. I believe that dreams can come true. I believe that loving someone is the most difficult wonderful tortuous beautiful thing I’ve ever done or will do. I believe in holding babies. I believe in stubble on a guy’s face. I believe in honesty and truth. I believe in hot chocolate on a cold winter day. I believe that words can fix everything. I believe in kicking a soccer ball. I believe in petting strange dogs. I believe that every child should know how to swim and ride a bike by age seven. I believe that what I believe today can change tomorrow.
