Sloan: Aww, you're really taking this hard, aren't you?
Alex: No. So what? The only woman I ever had feelings for never wants to see me again. No big deal.
Sloan: Stupid question.
Alex: Yeah. Very stupid question. How does somebody not take it hard when you feel like your life is over, when you don't know how you're gonna get through the rest of the day?
Sloan: Alex, honey. You made the fatal mistake of getting emotionally involved. See, this is why no-strings-attached is always the way go.
