What do you want from me? Admit that you wanted to get rid of me the whole time. Tommy knows this area better than- Agh, fuck that- Well, I’m sorry, I trust him better than I trust myself. Stop with the bullshit. What are you so afraid of? That I’m gonna end up like Sam? I can’t get infected! I can take care of myself. How many close calls have we had? Well, we seem to be doing alright so far. And now you’ll be doing even better with Tommy! I’m not her, you know. What? Maria told me about Sarah. And I- Ellie! You are treading on some mighty thin ice here. I’m sorry about your daughter, Joel, but I have lost people too. You have no idea what loss is. Everyone I have cared for has either died or left me. Everyone - fucking except for you! So don’t tell me that I would be safer with someone else because the truth is I would just be more scared. You’re right… You’re not my daughter, and I sure as hell ain’t your dad. And we are going our separate ways.
