That isn't their choice either. We all have to do things we don't want to do, and take risks, for the good of everyone. What you did wasn't right, and no amount of justifying it will change that.

I never said it was right, only necessary. My trust is hard to earn. Your record with the Joker doesn't satisfy me; I don't think you can handle him, but not because you're incapable. It's because he is who he is, and you shouldn't have to keep dying needlessly, or at all, to make sure he's behaving.

I'm sorry. This is the way it's going to be done. I'm not worried if he hurts me. Just as long as he doesn't hurt anyone else.

You're diligent and compassionate, Alphonse. There's people who need help in the tunnels, and people who are in desperate need of food, or they will die. Starvation is a suffering. Please go help them.

He has never killed me, I've never died needlessly, and--

No. I'm not going to argue this with you any more. You made a choice that wasn't your right to make, you're making snap judgements about me without knowing anything, and you think you have a right to tell me what to do.

I'm done here. If I find you again, we're going to have words you probably won't like.

Goodbye.
