" So you try to understand how people think, and sometimes it surprises you. People don't always see things the same way you see them. But if you listen carefully enough - respectfully enough - and if you pay attention to the things that matter to people, sometimes you'll hear a story that not only explains things you already know, like the burst blood vessels and the urine in the bed, but things you haven't even heard about yet, like Vernon Proctor's not having had cancer in the first place. And how he might die from it anyhow. When those things start coming together, you start thinking maybe you know anything. Which I suppose is why they invented the courts. "
