  Jim Miller : I don't think I need you to do this.

  Ryan Bingham : Why would you say that today?

  Jim Miller : Last night I was lying in bed, I couldn't fall asleep, so I started thinking about the wedding and the ceremony. I thought about how we'd buy a house and move in together, I thought about having a kid then having another kid, I thought about Christmases and thanksgivings, spring break vacation, I thought about going to football games then all of a sudden they've graduated, have jobs, getting married and then I'm a grandparent then I'm retired, I'm losing my hair, getting fat and then the next thing I'm dead. I couldn't stop thinking to myself "what's the point?"

  Ryan Bingham : The point?

  Jim Miller : What am I starting?

  Ryan Bingham : It's marriage it's one of the most beautiful things on earth it's what people aspire to do.

  Jim Miller : You seem happier like all my unmarried friends.

  Ryan Bingham : I'm not going to lie: marriage can be a pain in the ass and your right all this stuff leads to your eventual demise we're all on running clocks that can't be slowed down or paused we're all going to the same place.

  Jim Miller : There's no point.

  Ryan Bingham : There is no point. That's what I'm saying, I'm not normally the guy you'd talk to about stuff like this.
