Grizzly: And you you look around, and you start to clock the names on these gravestones. The first one you see is Reuben Price ... Every single person you've met, every single person you've known or cared about at least once ...
Chip: Yeah, well, I don't...something must have happened. We're not on the best of terms anymore, but I don't know. All I know is he's not a great dude anymore.
Gryffon: Surprised that he ever was.
Chip: Well, he had his moments.
Young Reuben: All right, little brother, finish him.
Young Reuben: We must show and make an example of those who don't stay loyal to the gang, to the family.
Young Chip: To the family?
Young Reuben: That's right. We're family.
Young Reuben: Come on, you trust me, right? You trust me?
Young Chip: Yeah, yeah. Yeah!
Young Reuben: I trained you. This will make you who you're supposed to be. We all do it. You have to leave this care and compassion behind in a world that doesn't give a shit about you, and you cut anyone who tries to damage you!
Young Chip: And this will stop that? This will change me?
Young Reuben: This takes all the pain away.
Grizzly: Sure. Now, tell me how you learned sign language.
Bizly: [...] but maybe back where I was with Reuben and his little Reubites.
Reuben: Chip, you don't get it. I learned a lot from our experience together, and I learned that whenever there is someone as disloyal as you; an example has to be made. So that the people around you don't make the same mistakes. And you can bet I've made plenty examples.
Chip: I know you don't have any problem with it. You betrayed me and yourself.
Chip: I'll be back, I guess. So stay big and scary while I'm gone and try not to kill anybody, Reuben.
Reuben: [laughs] Always loved that sense of humor.
Reuben: Chip, my favorite kleptomaniac. It's been a while, hasn't it?
Chip: Not long enough.
Grizzly: [Reuben] reaches into his back pocket and then flicks this paper airplane at [Chip]. And as it hits you [..] it is your wanted poster, essentially.
Reuben: [...] considering I took you under our wing and taught you everything you know. Kept you alive, scared, babbling little boy.
Chip: Reuben, you only protected yourself and you know that.
Chip: See you around, cyclops. Ooooh!
Gillion: (About Reuben) Wait, I don't get it. Who are you?
Chip: Just an old friend, Gill.
Chip: I just figured out that my mortal enemy is the son of one of my father figures. It's like, a whole thing.
Bizly: Right now, I'm trying to remember everything I can about Price and recontextualizing with this new information. Why do we hate each other?
Grizzly: (About the Skullslice Memory) It scares you for a moment like something is very wrong with you or like you did something very bad.
Then you start to think of like, Why was [Reuben] like that? You talked about the Black Rose Pirates a lot as a kid, but he was never a big pirate fan.
Bizly: I can imagine.
