that's correct. the truth is we all wear masks, metaphorically speaking. we repress the id.  our darkest desires and hide behind a more socially acceptable image of ourselves in order to cope with the frustrations of our day to day lives.
we must repress our id.  our deepest darkest desires.
this is extremely unusual, mr. ipkiss. barging in without an appointment or.
try to calm yourself. now this woman you were telling me about, i'm not sure i understand the problem.
very interesting.  looks like tenth or eleventh century scandinavian. where did you get this?
so you believe this actually changes you into a different person?
mr. ipkiss, please. this is just obsessional dellusion. what you have here is nothing more than a piece of wood.
my book uses masks as a metaphor for our complex personalities. the masks we must present to the outside world.  to suppress the id. to protect our innermost desires.
you're going to have to be willing to work on this delusion or.
mr. ipkiss please! there is no such thing as a magical mask.
alright then, go on. you're not going to frighten me.
whoa, what?
does that surprise you? the mask is nothing but a reflection of you - the inner you.
scandinavian. it looks like a representation of loki, the norse god of mischief. he supposedly caused so much trouble that odin banished him from valhalla forever.
your date?
mr. ipkiss, please. haven't you been listening to anything i've been saying? go as yourself. and as the mask. because they are the one and the same, beautiful person
