[Yes, he is absolutely still stuck on that.]

[strove]

[jettisons]

[strove]

[jettisons]

I'm glad you did. You've made a life here.

[strove]

[strove]

Don't worry. I wouldn't let that happen.

[jettisons]

I know. But if they can't come here, we can't stay.

[strove]

I'm aware.

That's why I'm not going to let that be an option.

[jettisons]

Yeah. I know you won't.

[strove]
