Max: I don't think it is that easy.
Billy: I promise you it is I once passed through a ghetto with suffering people all around and it didn't faze me. Just value you time on this earth and try not to worry about others problems.
Max: Okay I guess I could work on that.
Billy: You really should it will come in handy one day trust me. It helped me to fly by the emotional struggles of the death of my wife when me and her were involved in a plane crash.
Max: I'm sorry to here that.
Billy: Don't be its not the worst thing I have seen. tell me have you ever heard of the city Dresden?
Max: No I haven't what is its significance?
Billy: Well back when I was a POW I was located in a very calm city called Dresden. Nobody ever thought that It would be bombed but sure enough it occurred. The Bombing was the end to 130,000 peoples lives.
Max: Wow how did you get passed that mentally?
Billy: Max like I told you earlier life goes on and you can't change the things that happen. You have to accept the fact of death and think so it goes.
Max: well It sounds like that has worked good for you but I am not strong enough to get over death that easily.
Billy: well that's to bad
Max: I don't think it is, I feel bad for you that you have seen such terrible things to make you think death is not a big deal but to the general public it is.
Billy: Ya well I am trying to help you get over this.
Max: well that way won't work for me so I'm going to approach this in my own way.
Billy: So it goes.
