[He's prepared to be very stubborn about this, but from his point of view, he and Loki are talking about different things.]
Look, I can't relate to ending up with an army of baby-killers at my back, but humans do some pretty fucked up things too, so let's say it's all the same. The point is that a leader is responsible for the people following him. If you're gonna be that person, you accept that responsibility. That's the whole point. And sometimes no one else will do it, but it still needs to be done. Yeah, Loki, maybe a bunch of cold-blooded murderers shouldn't have someone calling the shots for them -- but a leader is a leader. The one in charge has a job to do.
[His brow is furrowed now, quite serious.] Some people shouldn't be in that position. But some of us are gonna step up when someone should.
