"Nobody wants to get out of the way and let the next generation come through. Everybody wants one more chance.”
“What’s so bad about that?”
“It makes a mockery of the past. Can’t you see that? It chops your life up into these little bite-sized morsels. If you have endless goes at getting it right, then you will never get it right. Not even once. Because constantly starting again turns the best thing in the world into just another takeout. Fast love. Junk love. Love to go.”
“Don’t you want one more chance, Alfie?”
“I’ve had my chance."
