01:09:24,625 --> 01:09:29,668
As for me, I would love
to introduce you to Mrs. Gibson,</font>

1518

1519

Yet here we are,
there for each other.

01:09:36,516 --> 01:09:38,353
-A tribe?

1521

-A tribe.

1522
01:09:40,089 --> 01:09:44,398
What I'm saying,
Charlie is that...

1523
01:09:44,498 --> 01:09:47,204
is that it's not worth
losing your friends over a game.

1524
01:09:48,908 --> 01:09:50,944
-I think it's too late, Gibbs.

1525
01:09:51,045 --> 01:09:53,918
I really hurt them.
I almost ruined Bree's career.

1530
01:10:07,010 --> 01:10:07,947
I know you can do this, Charlie.

1531
01:10:08,046 --> 01:10:09,315
I'm proud of you.

1532
01:10:09,416 --> 01:10:11,921
But now,
if you would be so kind

1533
01:10:12,020 --> 01:10:15,761

an emotional boundary
