Goofs

Quotes
Tom Kirkman: She called me, you know.
Dr. Adam Louden: When?
Tom Kirkman: Right before she was killed. Left me a message. Said she loved me. I never got to say it back.
Dr. Adam Louden: How were things left between you two?
Tom Kirkman: It was a tough time. We weren't in the best place.
Dr. Adam Louden: What place do you think you're in now?
Tom Kirkman: I don't know.
Dr. Adam Louden: I do. You're standing still. You console your children, not yourself. You can't read about your wife's killer. You can't pick her headstone. You hold yourself responsible. You're angry.
Tom Kirkman: I'm not dealing with any of it.
Dr. Adam Louden: No, you're not. You need to find a concrete way to acknowledge your grief. To move on. If you don't, you'll just be treading water. And you know what happens to someone who treads water for too long?
Tom Kirkman: They drown.
