When I first came to work here, I saw you as a man who chose the stars. And after all this time, I've come to wonder, have you been seeking or running? Am I being too personal?
No. Please, go on.
Why have you chosen to be alone?
I'm hardly alone.
You know what I mean.
As you say, I've spent my life in the stars.
And is that what you really want? All you really want?
The part of me that really wants is the part that has to wait in line.
Behind what?
Duty, I suppose. The need to keep on moving.
