It doesn't. [He knows this already even before this fight is over, just as she knows she ain't ever gonna run out of stories. Because he could sit here and bitch and moan about how he doesn't get the privilege of retiring after his war, but he knows it's not gonna happen either way. He's not the rocking armchair and knitting type.]

It doesn't stop, Karen. I don't stop. There's nothing better for me to do. [He probably sounds like a lot of other vets right now, whether he knows it or not. But for all that he's given to this country, it didn't owe him a spot with something better for him to do once he was done with the fighting. He's got to find his own way and even though that doesn't really matter right now when the path ahead is very clear, he knows that it'll be back to the drawing board again if he gets what he wants.]

It doesn't matter right now. I still have unfinished business. And you need to stop being penpals with domestic terrorists.
