Last time I saw Sam was right before I came here. This place has a shitty sense of humor.

I'm not going to tell you to not be sad or to not mourn. That's a big loss on top of a shitty, involuntary life change. [When he says that out loud, he realizes how fucking cyclical his life is.]

But I hope you won't let it keep you from... I don't know. Being open to the possibility of being better.
