Metro Mike, you're a veritable Will Hunting on giving advice without
the intelligence. As Sean would say ...

"So if I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny on
every art book ever written. Michelangelo, you know a lot about him.
Life's work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual
orientations, the whole works, right? But I'll bet you can't tell me
what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never actually stood
there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling; seen that. If I ask you
about women, you'd probably give me a syllabus about your personal
favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell
me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy.
You're a tough kid. And I'd ask you about war, you'd probably throw
Shakespeare at me, right, "once more unto the breach dear friends."
But you've never been near one. You've never held your best friend's
head in your lap, watch him gasp his last breath looking to you for
help. I'd ask you about love, you'd probably quote me a sonnet. But
you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known
someone that could level you with her eyes, feeling like God put an
angel on earth just for you. Who could rescue you from the depths of
hell. And you wouldn't know what it's like to be her angel, to have
that love for her, be there forever, through anything, through cancer.
And you wouldn't know about sleeping sitting up in the hospital room
for two months, holding her hand, because the doctors could see in
your eyes, that the terms "visiting hours" don't apply to you. You
don't know about real loss, 'cause it only occurs when you've loved
something more than you love yourself. And I doubt you've ever dared
to love anybody that much. And look at you... I don't see an
intelligent, confident man... I see a cocky, scared shitless kid."
