Dialogue

• Edward: Good god man, what's happened to you?
• Upton: I cannot go on anymore! My brother: a traitor! That woman...  Templar. I have no family! No wife of my own! What is the point of living, hm? Let them kill me.
• Edward: You don't know what you're saying mate. Let's get you some place safe.
• Upton: What's the point?
• Edward: The point is, I want my key, so I need you alive. I need your information, so I need you sober.
• Upton: You are my best friend. C'mere; I'll kill you. What are you looking at?

Edward defended Upton in a fist fight.

• Sailor: Hey, you there, with the sour face. What's that you said about mah maw?
• Upton: I said she's a lovely woman, inside and out.
• Sailor: Ah... And how would you know?
• Upton: I thought everyone knew. That's right! I said it.
• Sailor: I'll fix that mouth so it stops talking 'bout mas!

Edward started escorting Upton to safety.

• Edward: Come on mate, let's go.
• Upton: No!
• Edward: Just go as straight as you can.
• Upton: I don't feel so good. The church! In the name of the father, the son, and the holy-- Mate, the father, the son, and the holy- what's the third one again?
• Edward: Let's just keep it moving, yeah?
• Upton: The father, the son, and the let's keep it move-- no, that's not it.
• Edward: What does it matter?
• Upton: It doesn't. It' doesn't matter. Nothing in this sour life does. Let's keep it moving. Keep it moving.
• Edward: Not over there! Upton, mate, no! Guards! There are guards nearby.
• Upton: Piss off!
• Edward: They won't stand for this.
• Upton: I said, piss off! I need a piss. Ahhh, that's much better.
• Guard: Stop that!
• Upton: What? Why won't no one let me so much as take a piss.

Edward killed the guards.

• Upton: I don't want to be like a child, Edward.
• Edward: It's alright, mate.
• Upton: Help me not be like a child.
• Edward: You just need the drink to wear off. Are you safe here?
• Upton: Safety is an illusion. But yes, I have friends here. I can hide.
• Edward: Good.
• Upton: What you must think of me. Have I said anything embarrassing?
• Edward: No mate. You sound quite the scholar.
• Upton: Betrayal makes one philosophical, don't it? Imagine. A Templar. My brother to marry a Templar.
• Edward: I doubt it'll come to that.
• Upton: I'm so afraid for him! Oh, please help keep him safe!
• Edward: Sober up mate. We'll finish this in the morning.
• Upton: You're a forever friend, Kenway.
• Edward: Mmm.

Edward managed to get Upton to safety.
