Seaman and The Nerd in “Unfinished Business”

In general, would you describe yourself as a confident person?

The Nerd

[confused] Am I confident in myself? Well--

You don't have to be perfect to still be able to like yourself, so tell me.

The Nerd

[lying on the futon like a therapist couch] It all started with my pet albatross.

The most important thing is that your dad knows how much he means to you.

The Nerd

I just feel like...nothing matters, you know?

[each line interleaving with one another] If you manage to glimpse the world through each other's eyes, you have to keep up with technology. What will your future be like? It's a natural result of the world's economy becoming no reality independent of observation.

The Nerd

I-I never thought of it that way.

Human beings are the only animals smart enough to entertain itself in a complex way. [the Nerd nods in agreement]
