John: What do they think of me? In the future, what do people think?

Derek: If you’re asking if…People agree…With everything you do, of course not. If you’re asking if everybody loves you… Love’s a lot to ask for. You can’t do what you do..Expect everybody to agree. Or to love you.

John: And what is it that I do?

Derek: You lead.

John: And they follow.

Derek: We follow. We rise or fall on your shoulders. Humanity rises…Or falls. But we’re always watching.

John: For me to make a mistake?

Derek: For you to be human.
