"Why silly?" Sweeney asks as he pours another drink. "What the fuck is silly in wantin' something real?"

Not everyone has to live as long as he has. Not everyone is cursed with that same sort of bullshit. If people want to be happy, if they want a family, if they don't, if they have goals and desires, they should be able to have those things. There's nothing silly about it, as far as he's concerned. Nina's young, she has a whole long life ahead of her. She ought to do with it whatever the fuck she wants.

He doesn't know who Zoya is, but from his slightly protective perspective, she sounds like a bitch.
