Stan. Stanley. Look at me.

[Ford is shaking his head gently, looking down at his brother sternly.]

I didn't want you to pull me back. What happened...it had to happen that way, and I'm glad it did. If we'd waited only a second longer, Bill would have come back through. It would've been all over.

[Ford sighs.]

I know it's not easy to hear, Stan, but I knew what I was doing when I closed that portal.
