Christopher: Everybody is good at some things and not good at other things. People always say that. But what if the things you're good at aren't the right things for you to have a proper life? Well, it doesn't ruin your life if you're not good at Lego or football, but if you're not good at understanding people when they're not telling the truth, then you're not allowed to have a job or a house or a wife, which isn't fair. Because you're not the one not telling the truth but you're the one being punished.
Movie: The Drummer and the Keeper
Christopher: The thing he's not good at means that the things he is good at don't count. It's like Lego, where you lose one piece and you can't finish your kit you're building because of that one piece you're missing. So, you throw it away. It's a waste. Because somebody else might easily have that piece you're missing. He's good at understanding people, but he's not good at staying in control. I'm good at staying in control but I'm not good at understanding people. We each have a piece the other one is missing. So, if we could just have a chance... If you could just give us a chance to share those things, instead of two wasted people, there could be none.
