KARKAT: GREAT, GLAD TO GET A WORD IN.

KARKAT: THAT SAID, NOT FIVE MINUTES AGO YOU EMPHASIZED, IN A MOMENT OF STARTLING EGBERTIAN LUCIDITY, THAT I'M THE ONLY GUY WITH THE CREDENTIALS TO RUN THIS PLACE.

KARKAT: HORRIFYINGLY, YOU MAY EVEN HAVE BEEN RIGHT.

KARKAT: NOW YOU THINK I'M GOING TO DROP THE BILLIONS OF PEOPLE I NEED TO SAVE TO RELIVE OUR SHARED ADOLESCENT TRAUMA AND WHIP UP A WHOLE NEW WORLD TO RUIN?

JOHN: please?

ROXY: john... i know things didnt work out the way you thought they would but we cant just up and fuck off????

ROXY: i feel it in my gut, we can save this place, we have to!

JOHN: i spent 20 years being miserable, telling everyone something was wrong and getting told *i* was the crazy one.

JOHN: just for you and your bone buddy to drop the bomb that i was right! ALL ALONG!!!

JOHN: and now you all want to go back to pretending like this is fine?

JOHN: that we have to just accept it?

JADE: were not doing this for us, john!

JADE: you keep talking about something being wrong with us, yet not once have you asked yourself what we all have in common!!!!

JOHN: you can't blame the game for everything.

JOHN: playing it saved us!

JADE: children shouldnt have to make other children, or kiss the corpses of their friends, or know what it feels like to die!!!

JADE: the kids have a chance here, john.

JADE: to grow up like real people do and be... actually FUCKING normal!

JOHN: jade, your daughter has dog ears and a tail.

JOHN: she's never going to be normal!
