    • Quotes

      Owen: You're telling me about taking responsibility? You can't even be on time for shit you want to be at.

      Terry: No, no, no... not the same, not the same.

      Owen: Do you know why you're always late? Cause I know why. I know exactly why.

      Terry: Really?

      Owen: I got a whole theory about it.

      Terry: Well please enlighten me oh great Buddha.

      Owen: When you're late all you can think about is getting to where you're trying to go, traffic lights, whatever. Alright? You have no room in your head for anything else. But if you're early, you're not thinking about that stuff. Your brain is not occupied that way so your mind drifts. Maybe you start thinking, you know inward about your life. Who you are and what not but you don't want to do that. The last thing you want is to look in a mirror and ask, 'Who are you Terry?' Because then you might start thinking asking about exactly who you are and what your doing with your life. That's why you're late all the time.
