Sorry, I heard you. I'm just-- [He frowns, trying to think of the most truthful way to say it.] --you know, the bugs. I'm trying not to make the stupid bugs happen. Ugh, trying this hard makes everything so dramatic!
[Just because they're probably going to happen doesn't mean he wants them to, if they can be avoided.]
I think...the kids will be alright once we get them settled wherever. I wanna be with them too, but we weren't with them at home anymore. They were in school and we were on the adventure of a lifetime. And with that ship we can always go back.
[But that's only a piece of it, and it raises the real concern - what are they going to do after? He has thoughts about all of that, about Rhys and Bill - but turns it on Ford.]
