I did a Gears remake of this animation that I reblogged a few days ago. Some of the lines are weird cause I had to redraw them on one or two other layers.

"Hi, Sam. Your girl's doing fine." Hoffman could be a callous and unthinking bastard, but when he spilled his guts, he didn't hold back. He took out the locket that Sam--Samantha--had given him and held it out as if Samuel Byrne could see it. "She's called Sam too, you know that? She wanted you to have this. I don't know exactly where you're buried, but I'll find you, buddy. She's a good Gear. Steady under fire. She's got Sheraya's looks, too." Hoffman straighted up, eyes brimming, and put the locket back in his shirt. "Stand easy, Sam."

Michaelson: I suppose you're going to mutter something gruff and stride off through the mountain passes and into the pages of history.

Hoffman: Actually, I'm going to take a leak and then go round shaking folks' hands.

Michaelson: After you've washed yours, I trust.

Hoffman: [laughs] Don't make me miss you, you bastard.

I can do business with Hoffman. He would not - could never - lie to me. He enjoys wielding the truth too much. I think he's in love with its power to shock. And he knows that as long as he brandishes it, nobody will burden him with secrets he doesn't want to keep.
