He didn't have to play the nice guy! He just had to keep doing what he was doing, and then he decided to play me instead!
[Stan just groans, and pinches the bridge of his nose.]
He was doing the right thing! He was looking out for Ford, and he reached out and got me involved when he needed to! I was starting to really buy it. And it wasn't like a...y'know, "I'm trusting you with this thing I did" thing. He baited me with it, and he went behind Ford's back to do it! Absolutely nothing about that tells me he won't just turn around and off everyone if I give him his life back.
I'm not the Admiral. The bar is literally so low it's lying on the ground. All he has to do is try and if he can't do that much then I can't trust him to be alive. And me and Ford, we've been pretty up front about that the whole time.
[On the upside, he's still talking about it in present tense. Bill apparently hasn't completely blown his chances.]
