"It's understandable." "Upset?" "He wanted the four of us to take on maybe a thousand vampires." "That did happen." "You saw that, right?" "He's been on this hunt for a long lime, Doc." "So, it was just a senior moment?" "Is nobody questioning this but me?" "I think you're overreacting." "I hear you." "But what choice do we have?" "Okay." "Good to know." "So it is just me."

" Oh." "He used to go undercover to these hackathons and take me along." "He saw that hackers were... more curious than malicious." "Had he, uh, been born a few years later, he would have been one too." "All right." "Well, wait a second here." "What you did to the Internet, that was, uh- that was plenty malicious."
