Friend, you stumble.
Can I help with your load?
*Aye, pal, cheers -
budge up, everyone,
here's a new friend!*
This is heavy.
Unbearable.
What is this thing
you all carry?
*We're carrying the dragon,
pal.
Carrying the dragon.*
Dragon?
From whence came
a dragon?
*Ehm, not too sure -
our fathers summoned it,
we think.*
Oh, its weight!
How have you managed
for so long?
*No secret there, pal -
love. Love,
and brotherhood.
We all chip in, know?*
But does the dragon
not eat you?
It writhes on my shoulders
most disagreeably.
*No, no,
canny eat you
if you're carrying it.*
But it must eat!
It is bloated
and gorged
beyond movement!
*Aye, well,
why do think we carry it?*
So what does it eat?
*I.. We...
We don't really think
too much about that.
We have each other
to worry about.*
And what would happen
if you just laid it down?
*It would die.
We would lose
all the meaning
from our lives.*
I see.
Then come, brothers -
let us carry on.
Let us carry on
and on.
