As a man, casting off worn-out garments
taketh new ones,

so the dweller in the body,
casting off worn-out bodies,

entereth into ones that are new.

[War march song begins to play]

You used to listen to this
when you served in the Gulf War.

You and your friend, Michael Coleman.

You blame yourself for his death too.

Why do you feel like its something
you could have prevented at all?

I SAW HIM FALL, AND I DIDNT
STOP RUNNING FROM THEM.

HE WAS MY FRIEND,
AND I LET HIM DIE.

Would he have stopped running for you?

YES

Why do you want to believe
he would have?

I KNOW HE WOULD HAVE

Youre idealizing him.

You want to feel guilty.

You find it comforting.

Realistically, you feel he wouldnt.

THATS A LIE

Youre getting nervous.

You know he wouldnt have.

YOU DONT KNOW HIM,
YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SAY THAT

I can feel it in your voice.

WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO JUDGE ME?

TO THINK YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL?

YOU THINK YOU UNDERSTAND PEOPLE,

YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT ITS
LIKE TO BE A PERSON

AND YOU KNOW HOW WE WORK,

YOURE WRONG,

YOU DONT KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE
TO LOSE A DAUGHTER,

I DID WHAT WAS RIGHT FOR MY COUNTRY

AND I TRY TO LIVE LIKE AN HONEST MAN

AND SUPPORT MY WIFE AND JUST MAKE IT
THROUGH THE DAY

AND I LOVE MY HOME
AND YOU CANT TAKE THIS AWAY FROM ME

Shut up!
Just shut up.

I hate you.

I hate you for thinking life
has an end that corresponds

with your aspirations and wishes.

I hate you for thinking youre unique.

I hate you for thinking you understand
your purpose in the world.

I hate you for reminding me
of what I used to be.

We all died.

We were all sent here.

We all surrendered the dreams
we had made in life.

And we all did what was
required of us instead.

You will wait here until you no longer
remember who you are.

Until you are no longer
sane enough to distinguish

the years from seconds
and the seconds from eternity.

And then they will remold you.

And then you will be me.

Your job has been decided.

NO PLEASE WAIT PLEASE
JUST GIVE ME A CHANCE
TO EXPLAIN TO

Goodbye.
