In the end, none of it matters

Lottie:
Mum and Dad lie so much.
I just don't trust them any more.
They make me so angry.

Gordie:
Well, I used to feel like that about my lot, too.
Until I suddenly realised
there was no point in being angry
with people I loved for being what they are.
I mean, so what if your dad is a complete and utter bloody shambles?
Or your Uncle Gavin's
a bit of a tight-arse?
All that social climbing !
He can't help himself any more than his wife can help
being scared of her own shadow
or your mum can help being a bit mouthy.

The truth is,
every human being on this planet is
ridiculous in their own way.
So we shouldn't judge and we shouldn't fight,

because in the end...
(sigh) In the end,
none of it matters, none of this stuff.
