Kids: ''Yeah, so cool!'' ''This animation is so real!''
30 years I've been doing this...
...And I've seen a lot of other games come and go.
Kinda sad.
Think about all those guys from ''Asteroids''
BOOM, gone.
Centipede? Who knows who that guy is, you know...
Look, a steady arcade gig is nothing to sneeze at
I'm very lucky.
It's just...
I gotta say... It becomes kinda hard to love your job when no-one seems to like you for doing it.
All clear, the arcade's closed.
Shoryuken!
Whooh, what a day...
So, you wanna head to Tapper's, Ken?
If you're buyin', buddy.
Quitting time!
I don't know... Maybe I wouldn't be feeling this way if things were different after work...
But, it is what it is.
Felix: Good job everyone!
Felix and the Nicelanders go hang out in their homes...
Which he's just fixed, and everyone- you know...
They go to their homes, I go to mine
Which happens to be... a dump.
And, when I say a dump, I don't mean like a shabby place
I mean, an actual... dump.
Where the garbage goes and... a bunch of bricks and smashed building parts
That's... That's what I call home.
I guess I can't bellyache too much.
I got my bricks. I got my stump.
It looks uncomfortable, but it's actually fine. I'm good.
But... if I'm really honest with myself
I see Felix up there... getting patted on the back.
People are giving him pie. Thanking him...
So happy to see him all the time... Sometimes I think...
''Man! Sure must be nice being a good guy.''
Nice share, Ralph. As fellow bad guys...
We've all felt what you're feeling and... we've come to terms with it.
Really?
Right here, I'm Zangief, I'm bad guy!
Hi Zangief. I relate to you Ralph. When I hit bottom,
I was crushing man's skull like sparrow egg between my thighs.
And I think: ''Why you have to be so bad, Zangief?
Why can't you be more like good guy?''
Then I have moment of clarity.
If Zangief is good guy, who'll crush man's skull like sparrow's egg between thighs?
And I say: ''Zangief, you are "bad guy", but this does not mean you are bad guy.''
