"No, but I am. I crashed the war rig, crashed it all, to block off the pass. So Capable and Furiosa and the others could go back to Citadel without the War Boys shredding 'em before they get there." He sounded excited, eager, even if what he was excited about was something he was never going to see. "They're going to make it better now that Immortan Joe's dead, make it like the Green Place. No more people being treated as things. The War Pups will have a better half life and the War Boys that are dying won't die for no reason just because Joe told them to. And the milk mothers, the wretches - it's all going to be better for everyone with Furiosa and the Wives taking over."

He tapped a hand to his chest.

"I helped them. I died historic. It was a good death. A better death than Barry and Larry choking me off in my sleep," he gestured to the lumps near his throat. "I'm half life at the end of my half life. What better death can I find than that?"
