There are times when you realize that your best friend is You.

You don’t need anybody else to be complete, to find that fulfillment and contentment we crave so much.

I need to go home for a while; walk alone on the beach at sunset - watch the waves go about their business - never ceasing, never resting.

But I need a rest.

That’s why I want to go home.

Private Blues to see you, Sir.

What is it Blues?

Sir, the men tell me you’re an atheist. I thought I was an atheist too, but then this morning I suddenly found myself praying.

Well, you can pray all you want, son, but the only one who’s gonna get your ass outta here alive is You – you’re a fool if you think there’s anybody looking out for you. That’s why I've never believed in no God - I believe in myself!

I use to say the same thing, Sir, but today I realized I do believe in God; its just that I don’t believe he can or will do anything for me.

You’ve been here a long time, son. This place can do crazy things to a man. I hope to God we all get to go home soon.

Did you just say …’God’, Sir?
