Before we go in there, I wanted to thank you for…all that you’ve done for me.

You didn’t have to help me with all my shit, but you did and I… I appreciate it.

You:

That’s what friends are for.

I don’t know why I bothered, honestly.

I always sort of thought you hated me…

Enough with the sap, let’s get a move on.

Hadley:

Hated you? [laughs]

You know, after everything we’ve been through…oddly…I adore you.

You’re fearless and strong, and you can talk or fight your way out of any situation. Hells, the fact that you put up with me at all is impressive.

I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone quite like you.

You:

It’s why we’re such great friends.

Well, I adore you, too. And I think we make a great team, in every way.

Uh, no offense, but you’re barking up the wrong tree.
