Xander Harkness, Maximus and others in “Unfinished Business”

Xander Harkness

Hey Maximus, can we just be hard-dick for a second?

Um...yeah?

Xander

Unless your guy Quintus gives me that relic, you and me are going to be on the front line, shooting at each other soon. And I know you're very good, but trust me, you don't want that heat. And I don't know, I'm just thinking, if I go home with the relic, there's no bloodshed, you know? I'll be honest with you, man. We are really up against it back home. Without that relic you found, we risk losing the Commonwealth. And if the Commonwealth falls, civilization won't last much longer.

What you mean, "won't last?"

Xander

Look at it out here. It can get worse. Trust me. Just think about it, that's all. I trust your judgment, Maximus. So should you.
