not that this isn't perfect the way it is.

When you’re at school and you want to quit, people say ‘You’re going to hate it out in the world.’ Well, I didn’t believe them and I was right. When I was a kid, I couldn’t wait to be grown up, and they said ‘Childhood is the best time of your life.’ Well, it wasn’t. And now, I want his company and they say, ‘What’s half a loaf? You’re well shot of him’; and I say ‘I know that… but I miss him, that’s all’ and they say ‘He never made you happy’ and I say ‘But I am happy, apart from missing him. You might throw me a pill or two for my cough.’ [pauses, smiles] All my life, I’ve been looking for somebody courageous, resourceful. [pause, thinks] He’s not it… but something. We were something. [pause] I only came about my cough.
