Jack was moved by Al's concern. He was used to the "every man for himself" world he grew up with and never expected kindness from another person, even more from a stranger. However he was firm to his decision.

"In poker you usually go with the highest odds...So, two lives for the sake of all the others is the best way to go...Tactics, remember? Besides, I don't plan to kick the bucket just yet!" Jack replied, while wiping more blood from his eye.

He walked to the opposite direction the others headed before. He would like to run through the spaceship to find Allen, but he was not able to in his condition. He knew that he probably didn't have enough time, so he needed luck to find Allen, but luck was part of his character, so he was willing to take the chance. He turned his head to Al while walking off.

"Just a favor...Don't let anybody die...Including you!" he said and then added "By the way, thanks for the concern, Al!"
