It's that this job of yours tends to have a high mortality rate, and the retirement plan seems like it sucks. So you're either gonna smash yourself into little pieces for them, killing and maiming and whatever the fuck else they ask you to do, until there's nothing of you left, or you're gonna say no, and that's when I stop getting calls. You really think it's that insane that I want to stop that? Because maybe you don't know what it means when I say I love you, Reno."
