• Brian Moreland : When my mother died, I was sitting in the hallway in the army hospital. I was worried as hell. I knew she was real sick. She had this bad kidney thing. So I'm sitting there and my father comes out of the room and tells me that she's dead. He led me to this little chapel they had there, and he sat me down and he told me I could cry for fifteen minutes. He gave me fifteen minutes to cry, and after that I wasn't supposed to cry again. So he left me alone in the chapel and came back... he came back fifteen minutes later.

  Alex Dwyer : Jesus. What did you do?

  Brian Moreland : Well, I did what I was told. I cried for fifteen minutes.

• Alex Dwyer : What the hell were you doing back there?
