Barrell: you're a Natural son, i knew you could hit moving targets

Bertholdt: yes, i did it

Barrell: you're trying to make your old man cry aren't you

Bertholdt: haha, hey dad...am i holding you back?

Barrell: w-what? What kind of question is that?

Bertholdt: i dont know, i just think sometimes, if i wasnt here you and mom could-

Barrell: Bertholdt, never think like that, you are our most precious, before you and your mom i was nothing, i couldn't have asked for anything better

Bertholdt: you were nothing? Didnt you have parents?

Barrell: ha of course i did but i hardly remember them...listen you both changed my life for the better

Bertholdt: im glad you found us, old man

Barrell: me too...and when you find people who you care for hold on to them, follow them, never let them go, no matter what

Bertholdt: no matter what

Guard: she said to tell you to fuck off

Bertholdt: what? She really said that?

Guard: its what she told me, you must've really pissed her off, ha you don't look all that aggressive to me, what you do to her anyway?

Bertholdt: i don't...that's a good question, no idea, can you go get her? She has to comeback

Guard: no can do, she's above my orders, hell, no one tells her what do to, except for the commander but he let's her do what she wants mostly cause he doesn't want to lose such a high valued mercenary

Bertholdt: so she could  get me out of here

Guard: she made it clear she doesn't want to see your face, psst im your insider by the way, im imperial
