the nature of things

may I help you?
I'm just browsing, thanks. you sure got a lotta junk in here.
junk? I see no junk. this is all merchandise.
and it's all for sale?
everything you see. some of it may need a little work.
don't we all.
yes, but that's just the nature of things.
makes no sense to pretend otherwise.
not that we don't try.
we do, don't we.
all the time.
