Old Saying, New Twist IV.iii

Descartes Variation #3

cogito ergo vos es.
("I think therefore you is.")

This one comes from the Terry Gilliam movie The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. It's spoken by the King of the Moon, who is under the delusion that he created all things...nay, is STILL creating all things. (And yes, I know it should be "you are" but hey, it's a quote and I already told you the King is crazy. [Loony, even.])

Descartes Variation #2

Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum.
(I think I think therefore I think I am.)

It's not just comedic. In reference to character, it makes sense. I've spoken before about characters taking on a life of their own and "telling" the story. Think of it in terms of fictional people. They think they think, too. (I think.) What, do you think?
