"It doesn't matter if you believe it. I've thought about it for a long
time now. Maybe we only do one good thing ever, like in our whole
lives. Like me pulling that kid out of the river: Maybe that's all we're
capable of. Maybe some of us don't even get that. Maybe we're really
pretty awful, except for once. Maybe for one brief moment in our lives
where- by accident or fate or circumstance- we just happen to do the
right thing, the best thing, and then, well, then we go around the rest
of our lives trying to fool ourselves that what we did wasn't just a fluke
or mistake. I don't know, you tell me. I'm just a security guard now."
