No suicide runs, Rose. ANY of your Doctors would never forgive me, and I wouldn't forgive myself.
[This belief goes deep. He has spent his whole life trying to protect people from overwhelming odds and certain death. No letting someone he cares about seek it out.

Messed up or not, Rose--you're my friend. I wish I could fix more things--all I ever wanted was to try and save everyone. But you aren't alone. You do have your Doctor in a way. And you have friends. Even beyond just the ice-cream and drinks, you need me--you call.
[With another tired smile, but genuine affection in his eyes.]
All the ice-cream you want, or cakes, or whatever. Tabs on me. Drinks aren't as unlimited, but tab is also on me. We'll take it from there and find some fun.
