[It's worth the world to him. It really is. But...]

Don't tell anybody, okay? Don't... I don't want anybody coming after you.

[vaccination]

I can see how that would go: someone beats the shit out of me and paints the little girl as the bad guy. Fuck that.

But don't worry about me. I'll be safe. I just wish there was more I could do. You're not the bad guy in this mess.

[Yelling at idiots is rather cathartic though.]

[hostage]

Ellie, please... Please just - like - fly under the radar here, okay? Everybody's being crazy with this.

[vaccination]

[Ellie knows he's right. Her barking might not be dangerous for herself (she's really counting on people being softies for little girls here), but she doesn't want to stress out Jesse by causing trouble. Not to mention Joel, who already has enough to deal with.]

I will.

Do you have a plan?

[hostage]

Yeah.

[...No.]

[vaccination]

[Sure.]

I'm guessing they're not letting just anyone come see you, huh?

[hostage]

A few people, but they kinda think I'm crazy, so...

[So kids probably aren't allowed.]

[vaccination]

[She gets it.] Yeah. I'd probably flip my shit on them, anyway, sooo... probably for the best. Under the radar I go.

There in spirit, though.

[They can't keep him locked up forever.]

[hostage]

[Yes, they can.]

Thanks, Ellie.

[vaccination]

Yeah. Take care. I'll see you when you're out.
