Zemo: I made tea. Bucky: I don’t want tea. Zemo: I did not make tea for you. This is my tea. Bucky: Then why are you telling me? Zemo: It is a conversation starter. Bucky: That’s a lousy conversation starter. Zemo: Oh, is it? We are conversing. Checkmate.

I am homesick for a place I am not sure even exists.

چشم نمیتوند عشق را پنهان کند

— Cheshm nametana ishq-ra penhaan kunad

‘’The eye does not know how to hide love.’’

لك مني كلّ شيء

لك ظل لك ضوء

خاتم العرس، و ما شئت

و حاكورة زيتون و تين

For you I have everything:

Both shade and light

And a wedding ring

And even an orchard of olive and fig trees.

- Mahmoud Darwish
