Ha-ah...

[FLAMINIO, spoken]
In the middle of the journey of our life, I came to myself in a dark forest.

[ALL]
Oooh...

[FLAMINIO, spoken]
Wild boars lined the way, hissing adders looped around each tree.
[ALL]
Oooh. Aaaah...

[FLAMINIO, spoken]
But I, Flaminio Scala, prince of warriors, bravest of the brave, first to battle, last to flee. I, Flaminio Scala, was not afraid. Slicing through the underbrush with my sword, I forged ahead... until the road forked in two. And there, at that dim parting of the ways, I encountered a most amazing phenomenon. One of the paths was marked:

[WOMAN, spoken]
Fame

[FLAMINIO, spoken]
And the other:

[MAN, spoken]
Obscurity

[FLAMINIO, spoken]
I sensed a trick.

[WOMAN, spoken]

[MAN, spoken]
The decision is entirely up to you.
