The Blacklist - Written by Joe Carnahan
Red:
Have you ever sail across an ocean, Donald?
Donald:
No.
Red:
On a sailboat surrounded by sea with no land in sight, without even the possibility of sighting land for days to come. To stand at the helm of your destiny. I want that, one more time.
I want to be in the Piazza del Campo, in Sienna. To feel the surge, of 10 race horses go thundering by.
I want another meal in Paris, at L'Ambroisie at Place de Vosges.
I want another bottle of wine, and then another.
I want the warmth of a woman in the cool set of sheets.
One more night of jazz at the Vanguard.
I want to stand on summits and smoke cubans, and feel the sun on my face for as long as I can.
Walk on the Wall again.
Climb the tower, ride the river, stare at the frescos.
I want to sit in the garden and read one more good book.
Most of all I want to sleep. I want to sleep like I slept when I was a boy.
Give me that.
One time.
