St. Ephraim says, don't be discouraged by the water that falls to the ground, but rejoice in the water that you drank and know that the fountain exhausts you. You don't exhaust the fountain.

And it just really brought me down, you know. And then there's like eight minutes left in the fourth quarter. We're down by 10. And Emily walks in. She's been listening in the car and says, wasn't that a great ending? And I'm like, you just ruined everything. the king. They came back and they won.
