ALONNA: It shouldn't have gone down the way it did. You're getting reckless.
GUNN: I do what I gotta do.
ALONNA: No, you do more than what you gotta do. Three weeks, G. Three weeks and no teeth and you had to ring the dinner bell like that? You just couldn't go another day without getting a little death in, could you?
GUNN: You think I like this?
ALONNA: No, I think you love it. And you won't be happy until you get as close to death as you possibly can.
