Wait for It

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as classroom space for the University. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for University students on a meal plan. The old library has been bolstered with college textbooks.

"And ability means responsibility."

"So, what you're saying is, by choosing not to be a human being, I'm choosing to be cruel. That I have a responsibility to eat in the dining hall, to sleep in a bed, to age, to sneeze, to hiccup. And that, in someway, I'm being negligent by not doing all that.

Is that the gist of your argument?"

"I'm saying that choosing to do, or not do something is still a choice. Being an animal, being an object, it's all arbitrary for you and I. We can let ourselves sink into it, but it's an affectation."

"I understand that we've both gotten very clever at it in our times, and there is certainly a time for it."

"But I think you and I both know that we can stop."

"And that's the riddle, isn't it? I'm always a wolf when I'm a woman. I'm always a woman when I'm a wolf. The responsibility clings to me no matter which face I show you."

"Look, I get that you're trying to help -- heaven knows why, but you are. But you're acting like this is a... spur of the moment thing I haven't thought through. I'm aware life isn't simple -- you have no idea just how aware I am. If looking for a little bit of simplicity can improve life, not just for myself, but for the people I care about most? It's going to take more than some donuts to convince me otherwise."

"Oh, no. Not at all. Waiting is the hardest thing in the universe. It's eschewing happiness and fulfillment today for the mere promise of a better tomorrow.

It's a test of character."

"Since one deserves another, I'll leave you with one."

"The movement you need is on your shoulder."

She starts down the hallway, leaving the donuts behind.

Will actually glanced at his shoulder for a moment, then sighed.

He picked up the box of donuts, and, unhinging his jaw in a very disturbing fashion, shoved the entire pink box into his maw.

"A waste of perfectly good donuts," he muttered, as he swallowed the cardboard down.

He then turned and started crawling back into the cabinet once more.
