Taking Sides (The Between-the-Lines Remix)
Are you really joining up?
(I can’t believe you’re going.)
Yes. And I don’t see as you’ve any right to criticize. You’ve chosen sides too.
(I can’t believe you’re going. Not with them. With anyone else, I could - but them.)
It’s the right thing to do.
(There’s nothing else to be done.)
That’s propaganda and exaggeration.
(And if you’re wrong?)
No, it’s-
(I’m not.)
Stop. This might be the last time we see each other. Let’s not spend it arguing.
(I won’t fight with you. Not now - time for that later. I won’t fight you yet.)
If we’re lucky, it’ll be the last time. If we meet again, it’ll be on a battlefield.
(If I never see you again - that’s the best-case scenario, you know? If we live at all.)
Could you really kill me?
(Could I really kill you?)
If I had to. And you?
(I will do what I must.)
Yes. If I had no choice.
(I’d rather kill anyone. But yes.)
Well, then…
(Stop this.)
Good-bye.
(…brother.)
Good-bye.
(…brother.)
Stupid git. I just hope I’m not the one that has to kill you.
(If it has to be, though, I’d rather it were me than anyone else.)
It’s what they don’t say that they’ll remember.
