两天后,游戏就要关了。永远关上。
for good 把关服说成再也开不了,短、狠、不留后路。

Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageDon't you get it? Don't any of you get it? None of this matters! None of it! It's fake! We don't matter! That building, that's fake! This street... ...it's fake! That car--
你们还不懂吗?你们谁都不懂吗? 这一切都无所谓!全无所谓!都是假的!我们都不重要! 那栋楼,那是假的!这条街…… ……是假的! 那辆车——
What does that mean? Look, brother, I am sitting here with my best friend, trying to help him get through a tough time. Right? And even if I'm not real, this moment is. Right here, right now, this moment is real. I mean, what's more real than a person tryin' to help someone they love? Now, if that's not real, I don't know what is.
那是什么意思?听着,兄弟,我就坐在这儿 陪着我最好的朋友,帮他熬过一段难熬的日子。 对吧?就算我不是真的,这一刻是真的。 此时此地,此时此刻,这一刻是真的。 我是说,还有什么比一个人尽力去帮自己爱的人更真实? 如果这都不算真的,我不知道什么才算。
