No, that's the point! Do what you want! You can listen to me, or you can ignore me! That's the beauty of freedom. You're free to choose however you want to live. Whoever you want to be with. Whatever you want to do.

Just...stop talking like you're someone's tool. Like you're a means to an end. As far as I'm concerned, you're a person and I respect that a lot more than I could respect you being someone's pawn.

[He sighs and his expression softens.]

For all of your crazy power, why would you want to be under someone's thumb? I mean...think about it for a second. Right this moment, what do you want to do? Whatever it is...just do it. I'd rather see you happy and free and doing what makes you happy than waiting around for someone to just...tell you to stand there looking pretty.
