Nick: Sometimes a ferret’s just a ferret, but not this time. What’s up?
Ace: I thought if I could do this one thing for Nancy, help her out, it would mean that we could find our way back to how we were before everything when there was friendship and nothing more.
Nick: I see that. But maybe you’re looking in the wrong direction. Is that ever what it was? Friendship and nothing more?
Ace: Whatever it was or could be, it’s like that ferret. It’s out there, just out of reach.
