I think you had more choices than Alan Fisher did, don't you? He was held hostage to his own delusions, but you could control yourself. You could have looked for a job.
I had a job. I told you.
And a house?
Yeah.
And a car?
That's right.
Friends, family, possessions.
And I lost them! I lost it all. You don't know what that feels like. To be a failure. To go to bed on a piece of wet cardboard every freakin' night, wondering, "How did this happen to me?"! I didn't want this. I didn't choose this life. This is something that happened to me, and it's like this thing in my chest that's killing me! [pounds chest] It gets me right here!
Sounds human to me, Mr. Edgars.
