• Karen Scott : I was so...

  Nathan Ford : Angry?

  Karen Scott : We never got to say goodbye. And that.. isn't fair.

  Nathan Ford : It's never fair. Listen to me: I lost someone; you don't get *fair*. You don't get closure or goodbye. So you take the anger. I've learned that the anger... feels pretty good. Better than the grief. I know that the anger is the thing that gets me up - gets me going in the morning. But, you know, you have to be a little bit careful, because if you let yourself be driven by the anger it'll blind you, and you'll get into trouble over and over again, just so you can... *feel*. Just so you can beat something.

  Karen Scott : [*crying*]  And what happens then?

  Nathan Ford : Well, eventually you run into something your anger can't beat...

  Karen Scott : Like a mountain?

  Nathan Ford : [*nods*]  You realize that your... your luck has run out.

  [*clears throat*] 

  Nathan Ford : And it's a long way down.
