“Of course I am.”
“There are riots breaking out all across London! If you go out, you’ll die.”
“I won’t die. Sally’s going to meet me, and we both have our stab vests.”
“Please, don’t go. You’re simply not… You’re not young anymore Greg. I can’t do anything while you’re out there to make certain you’re safe.”
“Oh sweetheart… welcome to the life of being married to a policeman. You certain you’re up for this?”
“It’s madness, sheer and complete madness! You can’t affect the outcome! The mob will overwhelm you and drag you down with them.”
“I have to try. It’s my job dear, you know that. I can still recite the oath you know, I, do solemnly and sincerely declare and affirm that I will well and truly serve the Queen in the office of constable, with fairness, integrity, diligence and impartiality, upholding fundamental human rights and according equal respect to all people; and that I will, to the best of my power, cause the peace to be kept and preserved and prevent all offences against people and property; and that while I continue to hold the said office I will to the best of my skill and knowledge discharge all the duties thereof faithfully according to law. If I don't go now, if I don’t do this, I don’t think I can look at myself in the mirror ever again.”
“Why? Because you chose the smarter path and didn’t rush into danger? No one can fault you for that.”
“I have my duties; single mothers, single fathers, young and old cops are all involved in this. I cannot sit out.”
“Yes you can. Nobody has called you in. You’re on standby. Even if you were to choose to go out now, you will not be able to affect anything.”
“You know that isn’t true. I might not be able to affect everybody; but I can at least make certain that at least one person gets home safely tonight.”
“While you yourself brave the danger? I find that an unbalanced trade.”
“It’s my job sweetheart, my duty. I will not move from it.”
“…”
“Can I at least get a kiss before I go? No?”
“I still think this is madness and that you will die out there.”
“Sorry. I have to go now, Sally’s out there waiting for me with Anderson.”
“Promise you’ll come back?”
“I can’t promise that.”
“Promise me anyways.”
“I… alright, I promise. I’ll come back to you. Always and forever.”
“Stupid, stupid, stupid man, I won’t forgive you if you break my heart and get killed out there. Won’t you please stay?”
“No, and I’ll be back. I promise. Goodbye.”
