He opens them and says matter-of-factly:]
I'll be fine.
[This has no specific meaning, so it doesn't mean much more than, "I won't die of heartbreak in space." Ford will go on, whatever that looks like.
He doesn't want this to be over. Doesn't want to just...go back to being enemies. He worked so hard, sacrificed so much, in the circumstances leading up to this, and...and in one five-minute conversation, it's all gone. Maybe forever.
It's got to be, though.]
Besides, if you hadn't started this, where would I be? I'd probably never have realized the truth about Gravity Falls. I might already have gone back, never knowing that I'd never get to sail around the world with Stanley, or see the kids grow up. I might've been okay, but I wouldn't have been real. That's important to me.
