New Year’s Homework
Fight Club (1999)
Tyler Durden: Guys, what would you wish you’d done before you died? Steph: Paint a self-portrait. The Mechanic: Build a house. Tyler Durden: [to Narrator] And you? Narrator: I don’t know. Turn the wheel now, come on! Tyler Durden: You have to know the answer to this question! If you died right now, how would you feel about your life? Narrator: I don’t know, I wouldn’t feel anything good about my life, is that what you want to hear me say? Fine. Come on! Tyler Durden: Not good enough.Your first homework assignment for the new year is going to be to find something you want to do before you die. It could be anything. Maybe you always wanted to run out on the field during a game a Yankee stadium, maybe it could be to tell your boss to go fuck himself in front of the whole company, maybe it’s to sleep with two women at once. Whatever it is you need to find out what it is you would regret not doing should you die having not done it. Class dismissed.
