Find within yourself the path to truth, and you will never steer yourself wrong.

Good Lord, what a load of crap, he thought, sharpening the shovel again.

Rely on my own internal frame of reference to tell me what is the true path? Hell, if I thought my internal compass was true, I'd be in a better place now. Isn't that right, Jenny?

No, I guess you wouldn't have much to say about it, would you?

I never thought we'd be in this position, Jen. I honestly thought we'd make it. But I followed my heart, and that led me to you.

You, and Tommy.

Well, I took care of him, didn't I, Jen? That's something my heart led me to.

Y'know, Jen, I'm kind of glad I used the shovel end and not the handle end. He was a handsome guy, even I have to admit that. Just the kind of fella you'd like, especially after rebounding off of me.

Right, Jen?

Well, I guess it's time. I'm not gonna be able to get it much sharper than this. Bend down, Jen. It'll be quicker.

I said, bend down.
