Juggling blood and fire

CHRIS: I’m thinking about going to Alaska.
WAYNE: Alaska, Alaska? Or city Alaska? The city Alaska does have markets.
CHRIS: No, Alaska, Alaska. I want to be all the way out there. On my own. No map. No watch. No axe. Just out there. Big mountains, rivers, sky. Game. Just be out there in it. In the wild.
WAYNE: In the wild.
CHRIS: Yeah. Maybe write a book about my travels. About getting out of this sick society.
WAYNE: Society, right.
CHRIS: Because you know what I don’t understand? I don’t understand why, why people are so bad to each other, so often. It just doesn’t make any sense to me. Judgement. Control. All that.
WAYNE: Who “people” we talking about?
CHRIS: You know, parents and hypocrites. Politicians and pricks.
WAYNE: This is a mistake. It’s a mistake to get too deep into that kind of stuff. Alex, you’re a helluva young guy, but I promise you this: You’re a young guy. Blood and fire! You’re juggling blood and fire!
