What if we don't want you to? What if we -- What if seeing you die in our place isn't any better?
It's not an excuse, but I've made my peace with my decision. I've had years of training and battlefield experience to back it up. I'm a Spectre, for god's sake -- the second human in the galaxy to even get the title. I know what I'm doing, Jaime.
But you're -- I was your age when I had just killed my first man, and went through my first training -- and I didn't know anything about making decisions, and if someone let me do what you want to do? I'd never forgive them if something had happened -- hell, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself now. If you died? I don't know if I could move on like I could for another Marine.
