Bullshit.

Bullshit. I've already made it clear I'm irredeemable, that it doesn't matter how many chances I get to make it different things always go the same way. You still haven't even ruled out the possibility that this whole thing isn't my fault.

So tell me, Pete. Why am I not dead if not for mercy?

Maybe you're just a hard guy to kill.

That I can agree with. But they say the third time's the charm.

You've done it before. Come on, Peter. Wouldn't the ship be better off without me? Stop you having to follow me around everywhere, terrified I'll have too much power... Make life so much easier.

You think you're the only person I keep tabs on? You're not the only person who's screwed up, Nathan, I don't spend all my time making sure you're not the one with the gun in your hands.

[ A snort. ]

Now you're just making excuses.

What, Nathan, now you actually want me to kill you?

If I'm dead I can't go back. You'll escape, the camps won't happen, the President will close the whole thing down.

I'm not saying I want you to, I'm saying it's a solution.

It's not a solution when you aren't real.

Then it shouldn't matter if you kill me or not.

Just think I should do it for the thrill?

Wouldn't be the only one outta the two of us to have thought about it.

[ So why does he sound like he's smiling? ]

You're still my brother. Doesn't matter how hard you try to pretend otherwise. All my best stories are about you.

And all my worst ones are about you. [ Except he's rolling his eyes, the hostility gone for at least a few seconds. ]

Thing is they're probably the same exact ones.

That's not fair.

[ Maybe harder than he meant to, but he did just offer to let you kill him. ]

I may not have always been the best brother, but I still loved you, Pete.
