When we got to the moron who was sitting in the only path to the stairway, Adam caught my waist and lifted me over before stepping over the man himself.Scott? Adam said as we headed upstairs. Yeah?Unless someone shoots you, skins you, and throws the results on the floor, I don't want to see you lying in the walkway again.Yessir!

In the scene, Adam and the narrator encounter an obstacle while trying to ascend the staircase; a man is blocking their way. To navigate this, Adam picks up the narrator, carefully lifting her over the man before stepping over him himself, demonstrating both concern for her safety and decisiveness in dealing with the situation.

As they move upstairs, Adam humorously warns Scott not to be found sprawled out on the walkway again, using a graphic metaphor to emphasize the seriousness of the warning. This interaction showcases the camaraderie and protective dynamic among the characters, adding depth to their relationships and the story.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
