Look bud, I know I messed up, but it weren't 'cause I was tryin' t' stir nothin' up. Matter a fact, that was the complete opposite thing I was tryin' t' do. I went about it all wrong but don't you ever say I weren't lookin' out for ya.
...Lord, I ain't doin' this here. Here I'm talkin' 'bout stirrin' things up an' I'm arguin' with somebody who ain't ready t' say nothin' to me face-t'-face. You do you, Tim.
Bud, I'm sorry. I'm thankful fer what you did, I jus'...wish it didn't involve so much stabbin'? I'd say I wouldn't treat you the same if I were in a better state a mind at the time, but that ain't no good excuse.
Says the guy who was tripping people with knives in hand in the middle of the damned fight!
Damn it, Clayton, I'm SOLDIER! And maybe that's all the reason you need to think that I enjoy something like that, that I wouldn't think twice about killing someone! It wouldn't be the first time someone thought that about me! But I knew what I was doing!
Zack, I think that's the problem here. I don't think you enjoyed that any more 'n I did, you jus' have more experience with those situations than I do. Don't think I woulda thought straight in that sort a position even if I didn't have a big ol' gash in my head. I was jus' keepin' my promise t' somebody else--jus' like you were jus' tryin' t' protect me. Lord, I don't think yer some kinda masochist, man! What in God's name gave you that idea?
When you tried to get in the middle of things and could'a gotten my best friend killed! [ Screw being anon. He's feeling fuckin' fierce at this point anyway. ]
When are you gonna stop making excuses and just trust me!? [ We'll get into promises and other bullshit later. ]
I know! I'm sorry, man. I panicked an' I made a mistake. If it means anything I'd trust you t' help like that again, an'...maybe I'll be able t' keep my head well enough not t' get in yer way. I dunno how else I can make it up to ya.
Don't get involved like that next time. That's how you can make it up to me. Me and Kuns didn't just go into the program for no good reason. [ Sure, his own reasoning had initially been pretty idealistic and narcissistic as hell, but... ]
Being SOLDIER might hold a different meaning for others. But for us? We just wanna protect people. It wasn't just some job I took up for the sake of a paycheck.
