"I don't think anybody knows how decide right. Every choice is a gamble, and that goes for everybody. Thinking your choices through, that's not a fault.

And sometimes it is, but I know for my part...there's a lot I wished I would've taken the time to think through."

It's been a lottery from the get go, and in a lot of ways he couldn't have possibly seen any of this coming.

So much for that.
"Come on, kid, look at me. I've seen you make a good plenty of your own decisions. You chose to start saving those little girls, didn't you? You chose to work with me, you chose to keep on working with me. ...And I hope you're going to choose to work with me still, but it's your choice, chief."
