Quotes[]

Carmen: "I know how hard you work to keep yourself at a distance from everyone else on the planet, but it's not working for you anymore."

Shane: "It's working fine."

Carmen: "No, it's not. It's not, because of this. Okay? Do you feel this? Most people don't have this. This is rare."

Shane: "So what?"

Carmen: "That's right. So what? So what, if nothing ever comes out of this? So what, if you'll never act on it? You are so convinced that having a relationship near you is going to kill you."

Shane: "Because it will."

-- in "Late, Later, Latent"

Carmen: "You're not living your life, Shane. And if you don't take any risks, then you might as well be dead."
