A lonely man


"Linda: Can I tell you something?

Jim:
Yeah, of course.

Linda: I'm really nervous that you're gonna hate me soon. You're gonna find stuff out about me and hate me.

Jim: Like what? What do you mean?

Linda: You have so much, so many good things... and you seem so together. You're a police officer... straight
and put together, without any problems.

Jim: I lost my gun today.

Linda:
What?

Jim: I lost my gun today... and I'm the laughingstock of a lot of people. I wanted to tell you. I wanted you to
know
. It's on my mind. It makes me look like a fool. And I feel like a fool. You asked that we should say
things... say what we're thinking and not lie about things. I can tell you that I lost my gun today. And I'm
scared that once you find out, you won't like me.

Linda:
Jim, that was so... great what you just said.

Jim: I haven't been on a date in three years, since I got divorced. Whatever you want to tell me...
whatever you think might scare me, won't. I will listen to you. I'll be a good listener
if that's
what you want.

yeah, that's what it's all about. knowing that we have flaws, right? nobody's perfect. and i LOVE flaws. that's what makes us different from one another. the mistakes, the weakness, that's what we are built of*
