Teddy: There's a girl. Dolores. Better than I deserve. But maybe, someday soon, we'll have the life we both been dreamin' of.
Ford: No. You never will. Your job is not to protect Dolores. Your job is to keep her here, so guests can find her, if they want to, best the stalwart gunslinger, and have their way with his girl. Tell me, has it ever occurred to you to run off with her?
Teddy: I got some reckoning to do before I can be with her.
Ford: Ah yes. Your mysterious backstory. It's the reason for my visit. Do you know why it's a mystery, Teddy? Because we never bothered to give you one, just a formless guilt you never atoned for. But perhaps it is time you had a worthy origin story.
