Sure, some people will screw up anything, but some won't. That kind of cash, he has a chance to turn a miserable life around.
Miserable stays miserable. Happy doesn't buy lottery tickets in the first place.
Our level of happiness is set. It's in our DNA. No cash payout's gonna change that.
It's like there's two of me.
My mother's lawyer called. She's threatening to sue the hospital over our mistreatment of her. Says it slowed her recovery.
You know, I was just thinking how much I want a relationship with no sex, but where I still have to deal with your mother.
No clinic hours for the next quarter.
And three parking spots, next to each other, so I can park diagonally. And three pairs of your underwear. I'm thinking of taking up sailing.
Forget it. Treat your patient, don't treat your patient. Come to the meeting, don't come to the meeting. I'm done playing your game.
You realize the game is automatically over when the loser loses, right?
Down on the patient's romance because your own lifespan is shorter than dinner and a movie?
You're the one who said miserable stays miserable.

I love being back, having every theory you and I share used as proof of my own personal damage.
It'll end horribly.
Not for him. She may take all his money, and he may be a naive idiot but he'll always be hopeful, so he'll always be happy.
You lost your mother. You euthanized your brother. You got the life expectancy of a pretty good sitcom. If you can convince yourself that you'd be miserable no matter what, even without all that stuff, then maybe you don't have to hate the universe, for dumping a giant turd on you. Fatalism is your survival mechanism.
And you? Dumped by everyone you've ever loved. Rehab was a bust. Your leg feels like someone took a giant bite out of it. We are who we are. Lotteries are stupid.
