Maybe, but somehow, I think meaning only a little bit to the world, barely anything at all, is somehow worse than meaning nothing at all...

[But maybe he is conflating "worthless" with "meaningless". It's hard for him to try to piece them apart, though - can a person have little meaning, but much worth? He shakes his head.]

Right. I mean, you...mean a lot to me. And a few other people, too. Most of the time, I could hardly care less, but the people I do care about...I guess that's what matters. To me, to my own life...

[He smiles, slightly, a trace of fondness in his usually dour expression.]

Yeah. Maybe it's just as simple as that.
