Re: Jenna/Sam
"Last time I picked you because you were my daughter, which is why G and Morgan made the decision. It would have been a decision based on what I felt instead of work," Sam said. "This time, I picked you because of your skill and not for any other reasons."
Sam sighed, because he was never going to explain this. "It's who you are, Jenna. You don't like people, you do't particularly want to be bothered by them, and that's who you are. Would I pefer that you were more open and caring? Sure, I would. I think it would make life better for everyone, you included. Do I accept that it's who you are? Yes, just like I accept that your brother trusts everyone and will always give them a second chance even when he shouldn't. Do I like it? The answer is no in both cases, but that doesn't disappoint me.
"See? This is where we stop agreeing. I don't think you care about family. Actually that's not true either. You care about the people you decide are family. You're the one who couldn't be bothered to get G a gift for his certification or to notice that he's never comfortable with strangers in the house and brought Eric home when even your brother's boyfriend wasn't allowed. You couldn't be bothered with Savannah until you decided that you were friends. You haven't really been close to Renko or Bolton, but then you turn around and get upset when I say that Dom will always be family for as long as you want him, as if he'd have to be invited if you two broke up, and that would never happen, by the way. You went as far as to claim that we're related to him by blood though Blaze, but Blaze is and we aren't. You decide who's family and who's not and when they become family. Now that I mind, especially when it comes to G, because I've told you from day one that he's fover. There's no breaking up." They'd have to die for their relationship to be over.
"And for the record, no one needs help in this place. We do things because we want to help. We didn't need Savannah to cook. Deeks didn't need me help with the kids after Savannah left. People help because it's nice to help each other, not because there's any real need." Strangely enough, having her on the field was not something that bothered him. "I'm sure you'll do fine out there."
