[Carlisle, meanwhile, came to the barn to get away from social interactions, and yet here he is, having one. Scraps is truly a gift Anchor needed, helping the people even if unintentionally. It turns its great head toward them, then back to the cows as one meanders up to it. The cow rubs its head against his misshapen ribs, giving itself a good brushing. Apparently, neither creature has any interest in the argument at hand.]
It matters not if anyone knows it's coming, or if everything has been fine until now. [His impression of Pratt needs work.] It is an abomination, Deputy. Its very existence is a blight upon this place, and my order dictates it cannot remain. I don't want it here, constantly reminding me of what happened. Of what I did.
[He gestures to Scraps the cow scratcher because this would only be less intimidating with taped on googly eyes.]
You're the only one in that order though, I'm fine with it staying. [Obviously] And I get that, kinda, but it's doing way more good than harm. It's useful.
[No no, Pratt is right; he's the only one in his order here in Anchor. He tries again.]
It's useful, I suppose, but...
[He trails off, clearly not having had an argument to follow that but as he watches the cows groom themselves on Scraps' ribs. He lets out an exasperated sigh.]
Fine. It stays until I can figure out a way to rid this place of it that will not leave the herds unguarded. How is that?

Yes, because it's clearly a blight and a threat.

Good. Besides, I don't think anyone but us, Ami and like two other people even come up here. No one's gonna see it.
