No one's bought me ice cream since my dad died.
What's it taste like?
Vanilla.
[scoffs] Everybody can taste vanilla. Pay a little more attention, use those gifts. You know what you got? [sniffs] Sugar grains, vanilla bean, milk from three different dairies from two states... [licks] ugh... batch of chemicals straight off the periodic tables and... [sniffs] dirt off the guy's hand that served it to you. He spent his morning gardening. Whole world around you, Matty, and it is friggin' huge. And all you need... are the guts to let it in. Try. That dog, what's his story?
He's hungry... his stomach's growling... and he's dying to eat the hot dogs that guy's carrying just upwind of him.
Not bad. What about the girl?
Her skin's... Her skin's too hot. Her heart's beating fast. Is she sick?
Worse. She's in love. And the old man?
He's...He's dying.
And there's nothing you can do about it. Big world, not all of it flowers and sunshine. And the only way guys like you and me can survive is to grab it by the throat and never let go.
