"...The point that I try to make is that I am the most unpleasant, rude, ignorant and all-round obnoxious arseholes that anyone could possibly have the misfortune to meet.
I am dismissive of the virtuous, unaware of the beautiful and uncomprehending in the face of the happy.
So if I didn't understand I was being asked to be best man it is because I never expected to be anybody's best friend and certainly not the best friend of the bravest and kindest and wisest human being I have ever had the good fortune of knowing.
John, I am the ridiculous man.
Redeemed only by the warmth and constancy of your friendship.
But, as I am apparently your best friends. I cannot congratulate you on your choice of companion. Actually, now I can.
Mary, when I say you deserve this man, it is the highest compliment of which I am capable. John, you have endured war and injury and tragic loss, so sorry again about that last one
so know this, today you sit between the woman you made as your wife and the man you have saved.
In short, the two people who love you most in all this world and I know I speak for Mary as well when I say we will never let you down and we have a lifetime ahead to prove that..."
網上找到這段片，可以重聽，其實再聽仍是覺得感動。
今年有部電影Mr. Holmes講晚年的Sherlock如何面對年老和死亡，聰明一世的Sherlock Holmes審視自己一生明白了人生在世任憑再聰明絕頂、財富萬貫，仍沒有人能夠抵擋得到年老色衰、步向死亡這條路。
但願曾享有的一份真摯友情能讓這位天才不至於太孤獨。
