Who are you kidding, John? You’re not going to do any of that.

Archivist
I, I could.

Martin
(still brimming with false laughter) But you won’t. That’s why you came to me, isn’t it?

Martin
You know I can’t do it, not now; you don’t want to blind yourself; you don’t want to die; what you want is a reason to not do those things, so – you come to me.

Well, you’re welcome. B-because I can’t follow you on this one.ALT

I have died. Badly.
