Are you alive?

I'm trying to make sure everyone's okay.

The one you need to worry about right now is yourself, if someone else needs help we'll take care of them.

For all I know, you're another teenager. Someone who shouldn't be getting involved in whatever the hell it is that's happening here.

[dorkytracksuit]

I'm an adult. And even if I wasn't it's not like any of us were given a choice to be involved or not. Don't try to be everyone's hero, that's gotten you into enough trouble already.

[twopercent]

It was my decision. My choice.

Just because nobody had a choice on their involvement in this mess, doesn't mean anyone else has to put themselves in harm's way.

[dorkytracksuit]

Including YOU!

Someone has to get their hands dirty. I've done it enough already, what's one more mission? It's better than seeing kids who don't know what they're getting into wind up dead.

Jack, you are driving me crazy. The goal should be to look after everyone. Not just to sacrifice, nobody wins with that plan.

[twopercent]

You've seen how well that goal is working.

[dorkytracksuit]

Yeah, one dead when we didn't even know what the hell was happening.

[twopercent]

And we still don't know a hell of a lot more than we did back then. You think there aren't going to be more innocent people that die? Have you seen the new people entering the network, completely fucking clueless about the danger they're in?

[dorkytracksuit]

It's not going to happen!

[twopercent]

...I don't want it to either. That's why I have to do this.

I know you don't understand, but I'm not asking you to. It's my life, and my choice.

[dorkytracksuit]

Just stay alive.
