Don't say that you're not a good man, Richard, because you may believe it but I definitely don't. I never have. I think you're an asshole sometimes, and rude beyond belief, but that doesn't make you a bad person. It just makes you a rude asshole. That's it.

[Alex takes his hand again, her eyes boring into him in the same way that they always did, alight with the believe that both of them would rather that she could deny. Alex can't deny it--she never could-- but it's the same level that she believes in what she's saying to him.]

Whatever Warren wants you for, whatever he wants you to do? You have a choice in it otherwise I'm sure he would have forced you to do it already. And I believe in you, Richard Strand. I believe that when the time comes to make that choice, you aren't going to chose to the end world. You're not going to chose to be who he wants you to be. You're still going to be you: the rude asshole who I love.

That's what I believe.
