Jack: "Yeah, but I've dealt with my demons. It's a process. You want to know why I never killed myself? After what I saw, lived through? Losing my leg, losing my wife? Because it comes for all of us, man. You and I know it more than most. We see it every shift, but we can't let ourselves succumb to it. Yes, life can suck. It can be unbearable and... and brutal and ugly and heartbreaking. But it's also beautiful... and hilarious."
