I'll take Burial at Sea spoilers for 500, Alex.

[washitaway]

That wasn't me.

That wasn't me, so I don't see what's got you in such a tizzy. Everybody makes bad decisions. I guess I just make more than most.

Makes, made, will make. [SCOWL.]

Still. It wasn't me.

She shouldn't have to do that, all on her own.

Comments

[recurring]

No one else is going to. Might as well be me.

[Not that she wanted all of this to happen in the first place.]

[washitaway]

You deserve better.

[recurring]

Don't say that, Booker.

[washitaway]

Why? After all you've been through, that's what you're stuck doing? Cleaning up my messes? You shouldn't have to do that.

[recurring]

It's important to me. I want things to be different. I don't want things to be like this for...for all the others.

[washitaway]

I know. I just wish it didn't have to be you.

It's my fault.

[beunbroken]

They'll not all bad decisions...

[washitaway]

If there's anything I've learned, it's that all it takes is one to ruin a life.

[beunbroken]

And the lives of everyone around you. The lives of people you don't even know. The lives of people you will know.

[washitaway]

And it's because of me, that you're paying that price.

[beunbroken]

It's because of you that I even exist. Even as Anna Dewitt.

[bookedher]

No. That wasn't you. The Booker DeWitt I married would never do something so terrible.

[washitaway]

You don't know that.

[bookedher]

Yes, I do. You may not believe in yourself, but I know that you are a good man, Booker. If you weren't, then I wouldn't have married you.

[washitaway]

You're always so sure. You knew me for a heartbeat.

[bookedher]

I don't regret that heartbeat.

[birdorcage]

I wish there was a way to stop this. [To stop everything, without having to do such things. Stop, prevent, end. It feels like it'll never finish. Maybe there is no end.]

I--I can't believe it's this way.

[washitaway]

I thought we'd fixed it.

I'm sorry you're still having to do that.

[birdorcage]

I'm sorry, too. No one deserves this, Booker. [Not even you. There has to be a point where the guilt and the suffering is enough.]

[washitaway]

[Frankly, he figures if anyone deserves it, it's him.] I wish I could at least help.

[birdorcage]

You did, once. I just... suppose it wasn't enough.

[dreamofthesky]

...for what it's worth, not all of your -- or his -- decisions are bad ones.

I don't know that many men in Rapture would've cared for a girl like Sally.

[washitaway]

I'm not sure it makes one goddamn bit of difference. A life for a life? Did it even help?

[dreamofthesky]

I don't know. ...probably not, considering what happened to the city anyway.

...do you have any idea why he did it?

[washitaway]

[He doesn't want to think about it, but it's kind of difficult not to consider. Given that they are, essentially, the same person.]

I dunno. Guilt, maybe. And... a feeling like he wants to be important to someone? Have someone who believes in him?
