You don't open them.
:35:04
As I said, I don't decide.
:35:12
Precisely... Here's something.
:35:14
A short poem by Omar Khayam.
:35:19
I'll read it to you.
:35:21
The blind considered Khayam
to be wise and intelligent.

:35:26
"The circle we cross reveals not,
:35:29
"Neither beginning nor end.
:35:32
"Nothing pronounces the truth:
:35:34
"From where we come is where we go!
:35:37
"The Master created all things,
:35:40
"But why condemn them
to imperfection?

:35:43
"If their images prove ugly,
whose fault is it?

:35:47
"And if beautiful,
why seek their ruin?"

:35:51
You know, I'm just a whore
from Brazil.

:35:56
I don't understand all you say.
:35:59
That's why I mentioned my painting.
:36:03
One can't be above things
and want to transform them.

:36:07
Let things be as written.
:36:09
I was transformed. I didn't choose.
:36:12
That's different.
:36:16
But you still made a choice.
:36:18
I'm not sure.
:36:23
Do you suffer because of
your physique?

:36:27
That's unimportant.
:36:28
Not true. That can't be said.
:36:31
I'm talking about me.
:36:33
I was from the favela slums.
:36:35
I always knew my life
would be different from other boys.

:36:39
But I didn't choose, not even that.
:36:43
It was there.
:36:46
It took a lot of work.
:36:48
It was my own war.
:36:51
I became a woman, then a whore.
:36:56
Little boys who become women...
:36:59
they become whores.
