Okay.
You wanted to know what the bad guys
looked like. Now you know. It may happen

He sat there cowled in the blanket. After a
while he looked up. Are we still the good
guys? he said.
Yes. We're still the good guys.
And we always will be.
Yes. We always will be.”

8. "What would you do if I
died?

Yes. So I could be with
you.

world that never will be, and you're happy
again, then you'll have given up. Do you
understand? And you can't give up, I
won't let you."
