Six Feet Under Quote
[Nate is looking through a photo album on his 40th birthday.]
Nathaniel Sr.: The day I turned 40, you were in Europe. I spent the whole day wondering if you'd call.
Nate: Sorry.
Nathaniel Sr.: Oh, don't apologize. You did what you had to do, you little fucker.
Nate: You know, so much crazy shit has happened since these pictures were taken. So much. The idea of 40 more years—
Nathaniel Sr.: The next 40 fly by much faster. It'll be over before you know it.
Nate: Time flies when you're having fun, huh?
Nathaniel Sr.: No, time flies when you're pretending to have fun. Time flies when you're pretending to love Brenda and that baby she wants so much. Time flies when you're pretending to know what people mean when they say "love". Face it, buddy boy, there's two kinds of people in the world: there's you, and there's everybody else, and never the twain shall meet.
