Quotes
Lena
Why did my husband volunteer for a suicide mission?
Dr Ventress
Is that what you think we're doing? Committing suicide?
Lena
You must have profiled him. You must have assessed him. He must have said something.
Dr Ventress
So you're asking me as a psychologist?
Lena
Yeah.
Dr Ventress
Then, as a psychologist, I think you're confusing suicide with self-destruction. Almost none of us commit suicide, and almost all of us self-destruct. In some way, in some part of our lives. We drink, or we smoke, we destabilize the good job... and a happy marriage. But these aren't decisions, they're... they're impulses. In fact, you're probably better equipped to explain this than I am.
Lena
What does that mean?
Dr Ventress
You're a biologist. Isn't the self-destruction coded into us? Programmed into each cell?
