[ Oh, no, he's not being ordered around here. First, he jerks away, frowning at Klaus's hand, and then he lifts his metal arm to bat it away before stumbling back onto his feet. He has to take a moment to find his balance but, really, he's fine. ]

No. You don't get it.

[ Maybe Gaige will just hate him forever now. Maybe she'll keep telling everyone that he's a liar and a traitor, and he supposes there's not a lot he can do about that, but it's just ...

God. ]

Gaige, listen. Handsome Jack? He deserved to die. I'm not him. I said nothing about killing anyone, I don't ... I don't throw someone out an airlock because they didn't hand in a report or because they didn't make my coffee the way I like it. I said Pandora is shit and we'd be better off without it, which it true, and humanity should never have set foot on that damn planet. You can't tell me that's not true.

[ There are a lot of things he'd like to say, but for some reason he can't quite get the words out. Can't try to pretend that he didn't join Hyperion because it was the biggest and richest and he wanted exactly the position Handsome Jack had, wanted to be like him. Did Jack deserve to die? Yeah, probably. But he was a goddamn genius and too terrifying for most people to disrespect or threaten. For someone who's always felt like everyone is so much more dangerous and powerful than him, well ...

It seemed like the best thing ever. ]

I was no one important. Me not working for Hyperion would've made no difference at all but I ... Sorry I'm too weak to have morals or principles in our shithole of a galaxy.

[ He waves a hand in resignation, and turns to walk away. ]
