Hello, you've reached Amy Dylandy. I'm busy cooking something up, so leave me a message and I'll do my best to get back to you promptly.

You need to get out of Locke City.

[five minutes after recieving]

[feastorfamine]

No.

All of my friends are here. My jobs are here.

I'm not going anywhere.

[hotshots]

Don't be an idiot. They're going to be gunning for any of us there. LITERALLY.

You've been on the Network awhile. You think these assholes don't know who you are? Where you live?

[feastorfamine]

... And do what? Just throw away everything I've worked towards? I finally have friends, Neil!

I can't put my life on hold!

[hotshots]

Do you think THEY care about any of that?

[feastorfamine]

And what if I come back when it's all over and I can't just pick up where I left off?

[hotshots]

Is "They are going to kill you and it won't really matter if they do" something that's not quite sinking in?

[feastorfamine]

...

Have you talked to mom about this?

[hotshots]

C'mon, kid. What do YOU think?

[feastorfamine]

... Fine.

... Can you at least understand why this is difficult for me?

[hotshots]

You and everyone else. I get it, but we're all in these assholes' crosshairs right now, Amy.

[feastorfamine]

Yeah. I'm not trying to be selfish, Neil. It's just...

I promise I won't just ignore this.

[hotshots]

I'm not trying to be an asshole. [ Even if he is, y'know, being an asshole. ] But I'll be damned if I'm going to let you get yourself killed if I can avoid it.

[feastorfamine]

Yeah... just let me talk to mom and everyone, okay?

[hotshots]

Yeah, I know.

I just wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I let something happen to you. Especially something easily prevented.

[feastorfamine]

Just... you are aware Vegas isn't completely safe either, right? I'm not disagreeing, but I'm not going to be completely out of harm's way either.

[hotshots]

You don't have an entire criminal organization hunting you down, here.

[feastorfamine]

Yeah, I'm just saying that "safe" is really kind of relative...

[hotshots]

Both are pretty crappy options, if I'm gonna be honest.

This is just the least crappy one.

[feastorfamine]

Yep...

Just give me time, okay?

[hotshots]

Not room for a whole lotta that, either, but - yeah, I will.
