Fish: You have to stop doing this, Fineas!
FINEAS: Have to? No. What I HAVE to do is maintain the delicate balance we've spent so long building up. I've accomplished more in the past week than you could have by yourself in ten years.
Fish: But you want people to get hurt! You're a bad person.
FINEAS: This is war, Fish. Casualties are an assumption; I'm simply taking measures to assure that we're not among them.
Fish: Gosh darn it, Fineas, this is MY BRAIN and you are a guest in it, so you should do what I say!
FINEAS: You lost your right to be in charge the moment this became a high-stakes situation. You couldn't negotiate or plot your way out of an aquarium, so just sit back in your corner and play with your hallucinatory celebrities.
Fish: No.
FINEAS: ...
Fish: I'm not going to let you boss me around and keep hurting people! That's not what Sean Connery would do, and it's not what I'm gonna do, either.
FINEAS: ...Do you have any idea what it's like to try and talk to you? I'm getting dumber just existing in the same metaplane as you. But you know what? Fine. It's impossible for me to cram even the simplest idea into your tiny intellect, so maybe it's best if you spend a little time learning firsthand how much you need me.
FINEAS: Don't say I didn't warn you.
Fish: What are you talking about, Fineas?
Fish: Hello?
Fish: Are you there?
Fish: ...Fineas?

...He's gone.
Fineas is gone.
