[ Sam's never called it love. It's camaraderie. It's siblinghood. It's the person who will dig the bullet from your back and the one who will carry your half-ton frame to safe refuge. The one who will patch you up (even if it's a terrible job) and someone who will hold your hand carefully when you're a child and tell you it's alright, it's going to be fine. ]
John's the last of us.
I wish he weren't.
But he says move with purpose. I said that. I told him that.
[ They might not call it love, but Joan knows what it is. ]
Move with purpose. That's what both of you are going to have to do, starting soon. And for you, Sam, it's going to be in ways you're not used to or maybe don't understand. Which is why I'm here to help you, okay? The way we're talking right now? I hope that doesn't change when we go to New York.
John is going back because that's what he needs to do. It's the only decision he can live with.

You mean a lot to one another. And saying goodbye is always difficult.
But you're both strong and the love you have for one another isn't going to change, even if you're apart.

He's going to finish the fight for all of us.
