I would too, but my head doesn't stop at that. I go into-- everything we have to do, and how you're adopting two children, and then I think about having a family. And I want a family...

...

[sighs]

I think that if I saved the world again, and I couldn't get my people back, I'd just want to hit the road.

[skepticalities]

Even now?

[onlyoneof]

I don't know. It scares me-- thinking that they're gone. And I couldn't stay. Not with Olivia and Walter there, reminding me of the people I love.

[skepticalities]

. . .

I'm a worst case scenario guy. What if everything goes wrong? And there is so much that can go wrong with this...

[swallows]

... and it all boils down to me being really scared and trying very hard not to think too much about it... maybe we could move down to Hartford...

[skepticalities]

I could go back to Hartford.

[onlyoneof]

... okay.

[skepticalities]

Settle in with a nice desk job . . . it's a good area for kids, honestly. And there are some decent job opportunities.

[onlyoneof]

... I could go back to teaching.

[skepticalities]

You'd be good at it.

[onlyoneof]

I would be.

[skepticalities]

We could take care of Jack and Brianna together.

[onlyoneof]

I'll be the irresponsible uncle.

[skepticalities]

The uncle?

[onlyoneof]

Yeah, you set the rules and I help them find the loopholes.

[skepticalities]

Hey.

[onlyoneof]

That's what irresponsible uncles are for!

[skepticalities]

Somehow, I— don't think that's how it works.

[onlyoneof]

I don't think I'm ready to be an actual parent.

[skepticalities]

You could be the fun dad.

[onlyoneof]

... is that a thing? 'Fun' dads?

[skepticalities]

I wouldn't know, personally. Apparently, it's a thing?

[onlyoneof]

It doesn't sound like the best idea.

[skepticalities]

It was just a thought.

[onlyoneof]

I know. I'm just thinking if you have a "rules" parent and a "fun" one, the fun one will possibly get less respect than the rules one, and the kids will try to get around the rules one by going to the fun one first. It just sounds like a bad idea.
