[He gives a disappointed sigh and shakes his head.]
Come now...do you really think there is such a thing as a selfless act in this world or any other?
Every act is committed because a person wishes to gain from it in some way shape or form.
You stop to help a little old lady across the street because it gives you a sense of moral satisfaction. Soldiers fight for their country because it gives them a sense of honour. Even parents love their children because it gives them a sense of purpose in this big wide nasty world.
I did not have you down as being naive Miss Everdeen.
[His tone shifts from the serious nature back to his smug side again]
And who might this person be whom I remind you of so much? A handsome individual no doubt.
