You can't make people happy, Steve. They've got to do that for themselves... trust me, I know that better than anyone. And I know he has. But you can't protect him entirely down here. None of us can be protected entirely.

[And he wishes that wasn't the case, but he doesn't know how to change it either. He lets out a short, shaky sigh.]

It's okay. If you really want to help me, why don't you come over? We haven't fucked in a while and I want to not think for a while.
