Sure. We watch people fight for their lives alone each week.

[preowned]

I wouldn't really say they're alone. There's two people, and that wasn't really... fighting.

[shaft]

A fight isn't always swords and fists.

[preowned]

And?

I still have not heard a good argument for why it's better to be alone.

[shaft]

I'm not saying it's better. Just that's how things tend to end up, so you may as well prepare.

[ he pats his shoulder. ]

I disagree with you.

Yes, there are times where you will have to only depend on yourself. But that doesn't mean you have to reject help when it's offered. All that does it make sure you are always alone.

[shaft]

[ he just laughs ]

I like it when people can calmly disagree.

I don't think rejecting help is smart, but sometimes there is no help, and you have to figure things out on your own.

[preowned]

No, I know.

I just mean that you shouldn't reject an offer just because you might be on your own later. You're just making more work for yourself.

[shaft]

That's good advice.

[ but he will not agree to listen to it... ]

[preowned]

Uh huh.

Well, you are free to come to me for fatherly advice whenever.
