I wouldn't trust someone just because they share a face and a name with me.

[kepthishead]

That's why I didn't say you should trust me for that reason. Trust your instincts! What reason would I have to lie to myself? Would you if the positions were reversed?

Though in any case, I'll just have to prove it to you,

[killermemory]

Prove it?

[kepthishead]

You think I can't? I'm Elliot Nightray, I can do anything I set my mind to.

[killermemory]

[something in his eyes flare somewhat dangerously.]

Don't bother.

[kepthishead]

[I'M ELLIOT NIGHTRAY I DON'T BACK DOWN ... EVER ...]

No, I will, because it's clear that I must.

[killermemory]

That you must what, exactly?

[kepthishead]

Help you, stupid. Really, it's helping me.

[killermemory]

I don't need help.

[kepthishead]

Yes, you do! There's no shame in accepting help from yourself!

[killermemory]

You think you know me!

[kepthishead]

No, I know me! I know that you're different, that you couldn't be identical to me because you don't remember the things that I remember, the things that are important to us! But at our core, we have the same values! The same beliefs! And until you're able to take on the burdens that come with being Elliot Nightray, I'll shoulder yours as well as my own!

[killermemory]

... You don't want my burdens. Do you even understand the place I've come from?

[kepthishead]

I understand it made you who you are now. I understand that you're scared and that you're lost and something is making you that way. That's why I'll take them on for as long as you're here, because no-one should have to bear that burden alone!

[killermemory]

... ... I may be lost but I am certainly not alone. And at some point, I chose this. Arguably, you chose it.

[kepthishead]

[to himself]

Who am I trying to save like this...

[and now to Shrubbery]

Then I have even more obligation to help you, if I'm the one who put you there.
