Everybody's got an internal ledger sheet. Just because you try to keep your balance in the black doesn't mean everyone does. Karma is crap. If someone's helping you, it's because they're getting something out of it. Even if it's just something to feed their ego and savior complex.
[A particularly significant glance up at Al.]
Free life lesson for the day. And if you 'believe' anything different, you're going to get taken advantage of. Case in point, you're not going to put me down. You should. You don't know me. I could be lying about being a doctor. I could be a serial killer. I could be a spy for the admin, playing up the cane to gain your sympathy. Did you think about any of that before you helped me, or did you just see the poor old doctor with the cane to save?
