Coach Epictetus

Tirinha de Corey Mohr.

Parte 1, oito quadros num vestiário; Epicteto, de túnica, fala a jogadores de uniforme dourado: “ALRIGHT TEAM, I KNOW WE ARE DOWN 36-7 AT HALFTIME, BUT REMEMBER WHAT GOT US HERE!” / “WE’VE GOTTEN HERE TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME BECAUSE WE’VE APPLIED THE LESSONS OF PHILOSOPHICAL STOCISM TO FOOTBALL.” / “I’VE TAUGHT YOU HOW TO PUT ASIDE YOUR EMOTIONS AND FOCUS ONLY ON WHAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU” / “I’VE TAUGHT YOU HOW TO ACCEPT PAIN AND SACRIFICE AND KEEP FOCUSED ON YOUR DUTY, TO HELP YOUR TEAM.” / “I’VE TAUGHT YOU TO THAT THE KEY TO VICTORY IS NOT TO RULE OVER YOUR OPPONENT, BUT TO RULE OVER YOURSELF.” / “I’VE TAUGHT YOU THAT IT IS NOT THE WILL TO WIN, BUT THE WILL TO PREPARE THAT EARNS YOU VICTORY.” / “BUT NOW, IN THIS MOST DESPERATE OF HOURS, IT’S TIME YOU LEARN THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON OF THE ANCIENT STOICS.”

Parte 2, oito quadros. Epicteto: “IT ACTUALLY DOESN’T MATTER IF WE WIN OR LOSE, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT.” / “IT UPSETS YOU WHEN WE LOSE, RIGHT?” Jogador: “UH…YES COACH.” Epicteto: “BUT WHY? COULDN’T YOU JUST NOT BE UPSET INSTEAD? IT ISN’T THE LOSING THAT CAUSE YOU HARM, IT IS YOUR OWN MIND.” / “SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE HAPPEN TO LOSE THE GAME, WHICH LET’S BE HONEST, WE ARE PROBABLY GOING TO, JUST BE LIKE “EH, OH WELL, WHO CARES REALLY”.” / “AFTER ALL IT’S JUST A GAME, RIGHT? DOES IT REALLY MATTER? DOES IT HAVE ANY POWER OVER ANY OF YOU? NO, YOU CAN DECIDE NOT TO CARE WHO WINS AT THE LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT.” / “SO GET OUT THERE AND SHOW THEM THAT YOU DON’T CARE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER IF YOU WIN OR LOSE!” Placar: “00:00”, “PERIOD 4”, “HOME 82”, “AWAY 7”. Último quadro, os jogadores voltam pelo túnel; Epicteto: “GOOD JOB EVERYONE, WAY TO NOT GIVE EVEN THE SLIGHTEST SHIT ABOUT WHO WINS! I’M PROUD OF THIS TEAM.”
