[One minute you're chasing around a pig and the next minute you're having lengthy conversations about murder and what it means to take the life of another. That's just how things go sometimes, especially in Aldrip. He'll probably go and find Whitey again after this, maybe remind himself that things can be okay, at least for a little while.
Be a stupid ass teenager, be normal.
Obviously, Richard would've killed many to survive those wars. Maybe upsetting on some moral level, but the fact that he isn't gloating or happy about any of it sort of makes it easier for Scott to continue listening to him. Plus, war. That's just... how wars are, right? Alex probably killed in Vietnam. He didn't really ask, he didn't want to. How's that supposed to go anyway?]
So, you believe in every war you've been a part of?
[He wonders how it'd feel once you lose sight of that belief? Those mountain of corpses just suddenly come crashing down??] What would happen if it stopped being that way for you?
[Scott doesn't really enjoy the thought of ever becoming that numb to death. Maybe he won't have to. He's supposed to be from the 'peaceful' timeline, right?]
