Trouble and desire

-I wish i could be more like you.
-You don't wanna be like me.
-I mean you just get up and go. You take charge of things. You're your own man.
-Ned, i don't even know where i'm going.
-But that's what life's about. The adventure, the not knowing.
-No, it isn't.
-I want adventure.I want romance.
-Ned, there's no such thing as adventure.There's no such thing as romance.
-There's only trouble and desire.
-Trouble and desire?
-That's right, and the funny thing is when you desire something you immediately get in trouble
and when you're in trouble, you don't desire anything at all.
