But I guess now I know
what I'm missing by being a bastard.

- We mucked it up.
We mucked it up just like you said we would.

- No, got to move forward, I guess, to the next job.
A new partner.
- Yeah, I had a feeling that was coming.

You know you'll always have a home on the Waverider.
But I guess you'll be busy taking care of 48 punks.
- Well, I've learned a thing or two about handling punks.
Watched you do it for six years.

- Well, that's that.
- Yeah, I'm kind of nervous.
Things rarely wrap up in a neat little bow for us.
- No, come on, babe. Don't be paranoid.
Life is gonna start going our way.
