Now this is...promising.

I don't expect we're able to direct calls to those of our choosing?

My intent was never to break you, John. Your mind is an instrument of delicate precision. It was to be handled carefully, lest others mismanage it.

Which you yourself seem to have done, against my wishes.

From:

neverfeltbetter

Could have fooled me. I wouldn't call back alley brain surgery or inducing uncontrolled seizures very careful handling. Not to mention the other shit you pulled.

Since when have I given a damn about your wishes?

From:

You've always had a high level of durability.

[It's one of the things he liked best about you.]

Do you care about anything other than yourself?

From:

neverfeltbetter

That doesn't give you the license to keep pushin' me. I already passed all my physicals.

[He has Scorpius to thanks for showing him just how durable he really is, but no way in hell is he gonna be grateful for that. Ignorance would have been bliss in this case.]

Yeah Scorp, do you?

From:

[Since when does he wait for a license where it concerns you, Crichton?]

It may surprise you to hear, but I do.

You may have paved the way for more destruction than you know.

From:

[His point exactly.]

Oh come off it. I am not responsible for your two races getting into it with each other. I shouldn't even have a horse in this race.

From:

keeps_a_cool_head

Of course you're not responsible. You're not even a party to this war.

You're the weapon.

And I do not ask a pulse pistol its opinion before I shoot something.

From:

neverfeltbetter

Your pulse pistol isn't a living thing, but I am.

Hell, if Winona had an opinion, I might listen to the goddamn thing. I might learn something.

From:

keeps_a_cool_head

Yes; this makes you more of a difficulty to deal with.

[It's like owning an atomic bomb with the desire to run away whenever it wants]

Why should I entertain your opinions, John?

From:

neverfeltbetter

Oh boo hoo.

[This atomic bomb does what it wants.]

I’d tell you ‘because it’s the decent thing to do’ but we both know that argument’s past its prime.
