"How do I get out of this story* I'm in?"
"You don't understand, my friend. There is no way out. There is no program. You're a wanderer now."
"A wanderer?"
"Don't you remember the lines you read to me by Machado a few years back?"
"No, refresh me."
"Here they are: 'Wanderer, your footsteps are the road, and nothing more; wanderer, there is no road, the road is made by walking. By walking one makes the road, and upon glancing behind one sees the path that never will be trod again. Wanderer, there is no road-- Only wakes upon the sea.'"--Antonio Machado
"You're not going to go on and talk about the unconscious, dreams, the sea, Moby Dick and all that bullshit again are you?"
"No, I've got a building to build..."
*A story is a scenario interrelating man, the world, and the gods."--Pg. 41, Ishmael
