[ A short laugh. ] Dean, are you even paying attention to the things running around here? I almost got shot by space invaders and from what I hear that still counts as a slow day.

The events are dangerous, not all of the people here are friendly neighbourhood material and okay, so apparently death is more of a minor inconvenience, but I doubt anyone actually enjoys it.

There's the neighbourhood watch and I heard--

[ Let him pause for a moment. ]

...Maybe it's not what you normally do, but... [ You just made Philip's life infinitely more bearable, so don't act like you're a useless piece of trash GDI. ] but don't say you don't have a purpose here.

[ Philip takes a deep breath. Okay, so much for the necessity of ranting at Dean's can't protect anyone nonsense.

But then again, maybe he doesn't want to protect just anyone. ]

...Your brother could still show up too, you know. I heard people from the same dimension often do.
