Because I want to. Because I rode to the hospital with you and helped you not bleed to death and the other day some guy who's enough of a threat that you have to patrol his conversations with people came into the place I work, and you won't even tell me your name. Explaining Rihanna and little Godzilla guy statues is cute and all, but you have to give me something that's real.

He cut off a guy's ear and almost burned him alive, that's real, Claire.

That's saying something about - And you still can't even give me - That's not real. That's sick.

If he's gone then good fuckin' riddance but if he's around. You just, you gotta watch out for him. The more you know about me the worse it could be for you if he finds out. You gotta trust me on this.

I don't. I'm perfectly capable of watching out for myself, but if that guy ever does show his face for an extended stay, you can't just keep all quiet about it. You think you're protecting people by being secretive, but all you're really doing is opening them up to threats they don't even know about and can't be prepared for.

You wanna talk about things being real, that's one of them. It don't work that way in my world, I doubt it works that way in yours.

I know how it works in my world. Ten out of ten times, I wished I knew the truth.

I told you what I think you need to know. I'm sorry it ain't enough.

So am I.
