Ooh, nasty. Wow, that stings. You really hurt me there. Look, you know, it's real easy to judge a guy when bullets can't hurt you. Those assholes who were coming for me... I don't know if you can understand this, but they're playing for keeps.
I die if she dies. I saw what you did to all those bad guys, Nick. If you can do that, you can save Hailey. You can! But y... You won't! Because you're not running from the bad guys.

Ever westward, baby. And I ain't stopping until I see that sun drop into the water.
If you run away, Nick, you're never gonna stop. And eventually, you're going to die miserable and alone, and filled with regret. You do still process regret, don't you, Nick?
