ugh. just way too many feelings.
At least you made a decision. And at least now you have a direction. We have a direction.
...Kid I know what you're thinking. I know how unhappy you are about it, and about it but wasn't the whole lesson from today just that you can't force anyone to do anything they don't want to do?
I mean, that's the point you know? I should be working for Seth. And you're behaving like shit might not happen and you know, it might..
[Hoffman. Let's just be honest here.]
...Hey, I was trying to placate you. I know how you're feeling.
Amanda and I have done some pretty bad things kid. You know how she's ending. I know what you want for me and I think you know that someday it might happen...but I think just focusing on it the way you have been...
[There is a haunted look in his gaze. He looks genuinely upset.] ...Well. If I can save Seth from...feeling as shitty as I did and going through what I went through... That's the right thing to do.
But we both knew I wasn't a philanthropist like Amanda was. ...She really did do good. I'm..I'm a cop. Not a social worker. We're selfish by nature.
