Ted Lasso : Hey Roy, I'm just curious what was it like being back at Chelsea? All them fans sure we're happy to see you.
Roy Kent : I don't know. Just felt... Sad. Or something.
Ted Lasso : Really? Why is that?
Roy Kent : Last season I was there, we played a match against Arsenal, and we fucking murdered him.
Trent Crimm : I remember, 3-nil
Roy Kent : Yeah but I played like shit. Right? I did. That was the first time ever I thought I can't keep up anymore I'm not good enough, and that was all I could think about for the rest of the year. I knew it was only gonna get worse. So at the end of the season I left, everyone was shocked. The club was shocked. The fans. The press. Yeah I didn't want to be one of them broken-down footballers just taking up space until they're dropped years after they should've been.
Ted Lasso : Yeah, well a lot of folks think it's better to quit then to be fired you know?
Roy Kent : Yeah, but going back there today, there's a part of me thinking maybe I should've stayed and just fucking enjoyed myself. But that is not who I am I guess.
Ted Lasso : Not yet. But hey, if you wouldn't have left Chelsea when you did, we probably never would have met.
