Possible reconcilliation dialogue between Sly & Carmelita in Sly 5, if it comes:

Sly and Carm are kneeling down. Carm is crying, leaving Sly to hold her.

Carmelita: Sly, why did you lie to me?

Sly: Because, Carm, your bullheaded personality left me no choice!

Carmelita balks, then scowls. Sly sighs in frustration.

Sly: Look, Carmelita, I don't care if you hate me, but this is who I am! You can't just force me to become something I'm not! The blood of a thief runs in me! When I steal, it's not by choice, it's an obligation. If I don't do it, I'm dishonoring my family, my father, my clan! I won't change who I am just to please you!

Carmelita cries for a while...

Carmelita: I'm sorry...You're right. You are who you are, and I can't force you to change. But...you were so good to me! We had it so good together! I just...I just wanted so badly to believe...

Sly: We all do. But we all have to realize that we can't force people to change who they are. You can't control the will of others, beautiful. They'll always do what they want. Thieving isn't just something I do, it's ingrained into my DNA! It's something I HAVE to do! And you need to square with that, Carm. It's not something I choose to do, it's a responsibility.

Carmelita says nothing, just stares blankly at Sly. He turns and looks away.

Sly: Anyway, this whole conversation is getting really boring.

Carmelita: Boring?! I'm BORING you, Sly Cooper?!

Sly: Here I am trapped with the woman I love in a sealed room with no hope of escape. (Dramatically) And she's far too selfish and proud to throw herself into my arms and beg me to save her!

Carmelita cracks up laughing raucously.

Carmelita: You are such a louse, Ringtail.

Sly looks at her.

Sly: Lighten up. This is the first light-hearted moment I've had with you in forever.

They smile at each other. Carmelita looks away.

Carmelita: Chasing you here has got to be one of the worst mistakes of my career.
