[George looks much less youthfully enthusiastic than usual. And sad. Try as he might, he can't quite help but look sad.]

I'm sorry to have to be the bearer of this, but I'm afraid Miss Jane Brunswick has elected to return home. If anyone was wondering.

Oh, I certainly plan to. When she shows up.

I admit.

[His mouth twitches upward, smiling.] ...I liked being married to Alison in another universe. If it turns out she was pregnant when we broke up..


[His brow furrows] George do you think it'd be right to go back in time for a reason? Like if you saw a mistake you made and you had a chance to go back..would you?

I'm not sure it would be wise. It might adversely effect the future. It may be that the world needed you to have made that mistake.

[Hoffman looks down at his hands] ...Besides, you wouldn't know what would happen in that kind of a situation.

I know this, as I have been one.

[Hoffman frowns] ...You kidding me? I was raised by foster paren-

[he stops] So were you though. [he pauses and sighs] I was thinking...If it turned out Alison was...if she was going to have a kid. If I graduated..

[He was thinking about this] If I graduated an inmate...I could go back, and...Alison and I could...

[His hand clenches.] It's all right. It's fine. I'm glad you're okay.
