Moral

Thirty/Thirty:

"What a day! You know something, that little Gurmee could have been hurt."

J.B.:

"Hurt? He could have been killed!"

Thirty/Thirty:

"No, Sara Jane wouldn't do a thing like that."

J.B.:

"Sara Jane isn't a person, Sara Jane's a machine. And machines don't know right from wrong."

Thirty/Thirty:

"Yeah, but..."

BraveStarr:

"No buts, part! A gun in the hands of a child, is an invitation to an accident. It's like a bomb ready to explode. A real gun isn't a toy, don't ever touch one! Promise?"
