I was based in New York City, Tuesday, September 11, 2001. And I slept through it, literally. I had been up late the night before. I wasn't supposed to work that Tuesday. Forgot to set my alarm. Never charged my phone. What difference does it make? While people died and police officers and firefighters and hundreds of other people tried to save them and died, I just, uh, I never got a call. I never did anything. I just slept. So after that, I made a commitment that whenever I had a chance to do something, I'm gonna do it. Without asking why. And yes, Battle Creek is probably a demotion and yes, that probably means that someone doesn't like me but I don't ask those questions anymore. I just do what I'm asked to do to the best of my abilities.

Milt: I know you're worried about Holly, but I'm sure everything's...
Russ: Stop talkin' right there.
Milt: I'm sorry, I'm just trying to reassure you.
Russ: Reassure me? So as this is not a professional conversation, we don't need to be having it.
Milt: You're hurt?
Russ: I opened up to you because you kept jabbering on about trust and I thought, for a brief moment, that you meant it. That you were right, people work work together, they should trust each other. You know, they shouldn't have secrets, so then I told you a deeply personal story and I get nothing.
Milt: I'm sorry that I didn't reciprocate. It's just that you told me a deeply personal fictional story and I couldn't come up with something fast enough.
