I don't know what you've heard about me, but everything I've done has been for the best interests of the City and its people. That includes its elected leaders continuing to do their jobs without getting killed for it.

[He pauses, frowns, checks the area around them. Still just them and the parade-goers.]

Even if I don't work for City Hall anymore.

[Jack returns his attention to Rick.]

Besides, I have reason to believe that what's happening here is a lot bigger than just the City.
