Be Bold, Be Courageous! - Gusteau and my favorite rat Remy talk.
From the Ratatouille script, enjoy the wisdom: Remy flips a crinkled page, to a appetizing photo of pastry. His stomach GROWLS. He looks away, turning to a drawing of GUSTEAU on the opposite page.
The ILLUSTRATION comes to life; speaking to Remy—
GUSTEAU
If you are hungry, go up and look around, Remy. Why do you wait and mope?
REMY
I’ve just lost my family. All my friends. Probably forever.
GUSTEAU
How do you know?
REMY
Well, I—
(what is he doing?)
You… are an illustration. Why am I talking to you?
GUSTEAU
(shrugs)
You just lost your family. All your friends. You are lonely.
REMY
Yeah, well, you’re dead.
GUSTEAU
Ah… but that is no match for
wishful thinking. If you focus on
what you’ve left behind you will
never be able to see what lies
ahead. Now go up and look around.
Remy looks up, considering the streets above. He looks back
to the illustration. Gusteau has resumed his frozen pose.
Remy decides to go.
