"Don't go."

"Jack! I have to go. Everything is sorted. I'm all packed. They're waiting for me."

"Stay."

"I wish I could but Atlantis needs a leader and for now, I'm it."

"Screw them. Tell them you've got someplace else to be."

"I can't. I'm sorry."

"Then promise me at least that you won't fall in love with it and decide to stay there."

"I'm already in love. My home will always be with you. You know that."

"I still don't like this. We won't be able to see each other every day anymore."

"I don't entirely like the idea of going either. It'll be an adventure, sure, but I'm going to miss you. I wish you could come."

"We both know I can't. I would if I could."

"I know."

"I could maybe visit, though. Pack myself in with the supplies and trojan horse my way in."

"You'd better. And really, Jack, I'll be there as long as I'm needed and no longer. I'd miss you too much if I stayed permanently. I'll be thinking of you every day."

"I'll hold you to that."

"I wouldn't have it any other way."
