“Look, Mrs. Wheeler, I’m trying to be nice here.”
“Don’t.”
“What?”
“Don’t be nice.”
“But why?”
“Because the world is not nice. It is complicated and it is messy. It is overflowing with arrogance and greed and uncertainty. It’s a lot of heinous shit. It’s a world where bad wins out every single time. Now maybe you’re too naïve to believe that, or too stupid to learn it, but if you believe in the good and mercy of others, you will always lose, you will always be the victim, and then you’ll learn, intern, you’ll learn.”
