The absolute worst thing you can do in a scene is be apathetic.
Fall, then figure out what to do on the way down.
Beyond the deepest tragedy there is laughter; even in the midst of tragedy there is always the possibility for laughter.
The only real mistake here is ignoring the inner voice.
The truth is funny. Honest discovery, observation, and reaction is better than contrived invention.
It's not about the journey. It's about the people you meet.
