Dale Peck Quote

Life's cheap out here, Daniel. With a little budgeting I can get by till you go off to college.And then?My dad reached for whatever he was drinking that day.There don't always have to be a then. He poured, drank, swallowed, grimaced. Left his hand on the bottleneck. Hell, there ain't really a now, so why should there be a then?
