Really?

Chuck is all-knowing.

He knew the truth, he... he just kept it to himself.

Well, now that his cover's blown, everything that we've done is for what?

Nothing?

Even if we didn't know that all of the challenges that we face were born of Chuck's machinations, how would we describe it all?

We'd call it "life".

Because that's precisely what life is.

It's an obstacle course, and maybe Chuck designed the obstacles, but we ran our own race.

We made our own moves.

And mostly, we did well with that.

Did we?

I'll tell you what we do know.

Nothing about our lives is real.

Everything that we've lost, everything that we are is because of Chuck.
