what do i want? i want to see this whole goddamn city, this city that you purchased with our misery, burn. i want to see you hanged on the very gallows you’ve used to hang men for crimes far slighter than this. i want to see that noose around your neck, and i want to pull the fucking lever with my own two hands!

You say you fight for the sake of Nassau, for the sake of your men, for the sake of Thomas and his memory. But the truth of the matter is, it isn’t for any of those things. What the fuck do you think I am fighting for? I think you are fighting for the sake of fighting. Because it’s the only state in which you can function. The only way to keep that voice in your head from driving you mad. What are you talking about? What voice? The one telling you to be ashamed of yourself… for having loved him.

An intolerable sacrifice.

[Caption: side by side comparison of Eleanor and Max’s fight in s01e02, and Flint and Miranda’s in s01e07. It shows that Flint and Eleanor were partially instigators of the other’s fight; Eleanor’s and Flint’s unwillingness to let go of the work they did for Nassau during years; Max and Miranda telling them that there’s no love to be found within Nassau and offering Eleanor and Flint to leave together; and Eleanor and Flint storming out of the room after Max and Miranda said something hurtful. For further description and to read the dialogue, each gif contains captions.]
