You can start talking any time.
You said this goes away, so what's the time frame on that?
It's different for different people, I suppose.
For me. When will this be over for me?
Well, here's what's gonna happen. One day, you're gonna wake up, eat your breakfast, brush your teeth, go about your business. Then, sooner or later, you're gonna realize you hadn't thought about it. None of it. And that's the moment you realize you can forget. When you know that's possible, it all gets easier.
But what about you? Like... what happened out there doesn't bother you?
Them wanting to steal the seven million didn't work for me. Not to mention they wanted to shoot you in the head. It was them or it was us, cut and dried. They were in the game.
[pause] What about Fred? From TravelWire. Was he in the game?
No. There was a lot wrong with what happened there.
Yeah. Lalo. Lalo killed that guy. And for what?! He killed that guy, and we're helping him. [sighs] All this shit, just to... So he can get out of jail and just... get away?
It's not the end of the story.
Wait a minute. What does that mean? Uh, "not the end of the story," what–what are you saying? Are you saying what I think you're saying? Is something gonna happen to Lalo?
I didn't say that.
Oh, Jesus! What have I gotten myself involved with here?! Look, just tell me what are you saying is gonna ha–
Look. We all make our choices. And those choices, they put us on a road. Sometimes those choices seem small, but they put you on the road. You think about getting off... but eventually, you're back on it. And the road we're on led us out to the desert, everything that happened there and straight back to where we are right now. And nothing–nothing–can be done about that. Do you understand that?
[pause] I can't believe... [sighs] I can't believe there's, like, over a billion people on this planet, and the only person I have to talk about this to is you.
