Peggy wouldn't have let that happen. Phillips wouldn't have let it, either. But Steve knows for a fact no small number of people would have tried to put him back in a test tube. Bored in a week. He shakes his head.]
I wonder if any of us could have lives outside of what we do, after this. If we could before.
