Joel's Brutal Vaccine Speech

Ellie: I was supposed to die in that hospital. Making the vaccine was a gamble, Ellie. You're not the first test subject and you'd most likely not have been the last. And even if by some miracle they managed to make a vaccine, the world ain't gonna automatically return to what it was. Dog eat dog is the new normal - infected, cannibals and raiders are still there and it ain't going away soon or maybe even ever. On top of that, mass production and distribution of a vaccine is an absolute logistical nightmare in a post apocalyptic world - they simply don't have enough resources for that. And who's to say that those incompetent Fireflies wouldn't use it as a bargaining chip to put everyone willing or not, under their new rule? And even given all that, they debated killing me after I delivered you, Ellie. I did the job and the payment I got was getting knocked out and being marched outside of the safe zone at gunpoint without my weapons and supplies. The Fireflies broke the deal and fucked me over. I killed people for less, Baby Girl.

Joel and Ellie from The Last of Us sit together during a tense conversation. Ellie says she was supposed to die in the hospital, and Joel responds with an extremely long, grim justification for why creating a vaccine would not fix the post-apocalyptic world. The meme is used as a reaction to someone giving an overly detailed, ruthless explanation or defending a morally questionable decision.
