"[...] or how to make a horrible experience look like fun, or very important. Personally, i made it fun. I went there mentally determined, whatever kind of hell it was going to be, i was going to make it merry for myself and for everybody else, if i could." Page 375

Flynn was always trying to make the better of every situation.
