- Krista Gordon: And we need to work on your anger issues, Elliot. You’re angry at everyone, at society.
- Elliot Alderson: Fuck society.
- Krista Gordon: I know you have a lot to be angry about, but keeping it to yourself and staying quiet like you’re doing it’s not going to help you. There’s pain underneath. That’s where our work needs to go. What is it about society that disappoints you so much?
- Elliot Alderson: Oh, I don’t know. Is it that we collectively thought Steve Jobs was a great man, even when we knew he made billions off the backs of children? Or maybe it’s that it feels like all our heroes are counterfeit. The world itself is just one big hoax, spamming each other with our running commentary of bullshit masquerading as insight, our social media faking as intimacy. Or is it that we voted for this? Not with our rigged elections, but with our things, our property, our money. I’m not saying anything new. We all know why we do this, not because Hunger Games books makes us happy but because we wanna be sedated, because it’s painful not to pretend, because we’re cowards. Fuck society.
- Elliot Alderson: I hate when I can't hold in my loneliness. This crying has been happening too often, every other week now. What do normal people do when they get this sad? They reach out to friends or family, I think.
