In the end he wasn't a good man. There's no reason to put more thought into him and what choices he made. Eventually he made different choices. It doesn't change what we know.

[He hasn't talked about this since he got there, since he told Alex about being shot, but he realizes he hasn't dealt with it. He just wants to close it off again.]

The truth matters. Hell, it mattered to me. It still does.

I can't argue that. I could have gone on without ever knowing. It's just... it makes me think about the man I was and the one I became but I don't want to put excuses there either.

Yeah, but you became a better man even before you found out about your dad. Just cause I didn't see it doesn't mean it wasn't true.

Thanks, Guerin. I mean that. It's all I've wanted.

I think maybe I've lost sight of that.

I think maybe you should remember who you are.

Quit blaming yourself. You're way too good at that.

I'd rather that than blaming others. I made my choices and it's on me, no matter how or why things happened.

But you're right. I don't think I've been myself for longer than I can remember.

[At least six months. Maybe the whole years he's been there.]

Your choices aren't your father's.

Your choices aren't Elijah's, either.

[ He knows that's what this is about, too. Elijah, Hayley, that whole mess. It's not not a mess, but Michael's pretty clear on where the fault lies. ]

Anyway beating yourself up about it's only gonna hold you back. You need to get back in the world again. Fangs and all.

It's hard accepting that because there's things I went along with. But you're right.

Is that an offer for a date, Guerin? I'm touched but I'm taken.

You know some day we should do that, just to see the looks on everyone's faces. It'd be worth it.

I promise I'll dress up and take you somewhere nice.

Okay well I'm gonna wear my boots and hat, if you wear a tie it's just gonna look wrong.

So jeans and a flannel. That's every day. That's just us getting a beer.

And we'd upscale that how?
I gotta tell you, Valenti, I don't think I have an upscale.

You telling me that if Damon said he wanted to tag you out for a serious date you couldn't find an upscale?

Maybe I need to take you shopping.

Do I seem like the kind of guy with a suit in my closet? I gotta tell you, Valenti, that's not even me back home.

Do you know how much room there is between jeans and a suit?

You've met me, right?

Right. So buying you clothes. Got it. Since I know you won't go with me.

Okay, that is not what I meant.

Sorry can't hear you. I'm plotting.

I don't know why I'm friends with you. I take back this whole conversation.

You love me, Guerin. That's the problem. Just remember, you can't return Christmas gifts. It's like bad luck or something.

Who says aliens even celebrate Christmas? I didn't!

You don't have to celebrate to get gifts.
