Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my jo
For auld lang syne
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet
For auld lang syne

And surely ye’ll be your pint-stowp!
And surely I’ll be mine!
And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet
For auld lang syne.

Frederick McCubbin, Down on His Luck, 1889

- Everything around you affects you. Do you know what I mean? It must be the same for you.
- For me? No, no, it's always the same.
- It can't be.
- What, so, even if it's raining or the sun's shining, or someone smiles at you a little?
- Someone smiles at you a little... Say that again.
