A few hours' time, assuming he's there, I'm going to begin a discussion in which I'm going to ask [Teach] for something that he can't possibly give. And the success or failure of this war will depend upon the outcome. In a few hours' time, there's a good chance you're going to look awfully smart.

They took my home. I can't walk away from that. Can you? Forget me, forget Teach, forget loyalty, compacts, honour, debts, all of it. The only question that matters is this: Who are you?

You convinced them. Convinced Scott, his wife, their people, our people, even Silver.

No one prepared you for this, did they? For as long as I can remember, I have been prepared for the day I would take my mother's place. To know that from that day forth, I would forever be the one who tends as opposed to the one who is tended to. You're frustrated. You're angry. You're tired. Perhaps no one else knows why. I believe that not even you know why. But I know why.

It's a fucking lashing. I know how to tie it.

If he tied it wrong, then you instructed him wrong.
