Paul confesses his quote was "stunned dialogue," arguing that he, unlike the "glib" TV experts, "couldn't have done that [obituary]... no more could have done that than you know, fly." This clip is a raw, human look at Paul's grief, as he asserts that his genuine, inarticulate shock was the only authentic response.
