I joined the Army and took the service exam. They found my psych results fit a certain profile. A certain "Moral flexibility" would be the best way to describe it.... I was loaned out to a CIA-sponsored program. It's called "mechanical operations." We sort of found each other....

You're a government spook?


MARTIN

I was, but no... yes... I was before, but now I'm not. It's irrelevant, really. The idea of governments, nations, it's mostly a public relations theory at this point, anyway. But I'll tell you something, until about five months ago, I really enjoyed my work.

Then I started losing my taste for it. Which usually means your time is up. But then I realized it was something entirely different.... I started getting the sneaking, dark suspicion that maybe there was... meaning to life.

DEBI

Okay. Great, Martin, that's just great. Meaning to life... Mmm....

MARTIN

Like, that there's a point? An organic connection between all living things.

DEBI

Let me help you along, Martin. You're a sociopath!

Bill collecting is similar, but they do owe the money!

I always liked the guys who said "but gee I will go bankrupt and all these people will be out of work". True enough, they'll go bankrupt, but all that means is the property gets a new owner and the employees get new jobs.

Sociopaths don't care about any of that.
