“The problem, David, is your cynicism only runs one direction. If somebody comes on TV and says everything is great and wonderful, you don’t believe it, you say they’re blowing smoke up your butt. You demand proof. But if one second later, some guy comes on and says everything is falling apart, you automatically believe it, no questions asked. If those people had told you that this mine monster situation was no big deal and that we should just go home, you wouldn’t have believed them, not for a second. But the moment they said it was a Class G apocalypse, you were on board. As if nobody ever has motivation to tell you things are worse than they really are. And you know for a fact that’s not true! Nothing controls people like fear.”

“Can we just skip this part, Dave?
The part where you have this knee-jerk anger reflex over being given an ultimatum? Because it's not an ultimatum and nobody is trying to push you around. I've been here a million times, you know I have, and that anger, it's the rage of a kid getting dragged out of a warm bed on a cold morning. That's all it is. Because that depression, it's the most comfy bed in the world and you will say whatever you have to say to stay in it for one more minute. But there's people out here who love you a lot, telling you that there's a truck heading for that bed. And if you can't work up any concern for your own life, then think of it like this. Somebody Amy and I care about a whole lot is about to get hit by that truck and only you can save them. The person we need you to save just happens to be you. Also, the truck is filled with shit, I don't know if I mentioned that.”
