Nick: You sent Abbott to sacrifice himself.
George: It was his idea. Redeem himself by saving Nancy. His choice.
Nick: But you didn't try to talk him out of it, so it was your choice too.
George: Okay, fine. You win the debate. He'll just have a target on his back until we solve the sin-eater curse, but that will be easier to do if Nancy's not dead.
Nick: And if Abbott dies? You can't sacrifice one life to save another.
George: No? If I talked him out of it, I'd be doing the same thing. Who do you want to save, Nick? Our friend who we love or a piece of crap judge who buried an assault?
