WONG

Far be it for me to question your judgment, Ancient One

But I'm not so certain about this Strange fellow

ANCIENT ONE

I can't say I blame you, Wong

I understand why you'd have reservations

WONG

He seems too arrogant to responsibly steward the power he is coming into

ANCIENT ONE

There is a very good reason for that, old friend

It's because he most certainly is

WONG

What? Then why are you trusting him with instruction in the mystic arts?

Have you seen something in the yet to come about him?

ANCIENT ONE

I have, as a matter of fact

He's going to break all the rules and throw the multiverse in disarray

WONG

And STILL you are allowing him to train!?

ANCIENT ONE

Of course, Wong

Can you imagine the havoc he'd wreck if we didn't take him in hand?

WONG

At least then he wouldn't have magic to do it

ANCIENT ONE

And he wouldn't have you to keep an eye on him

WONG

Me? He's to be my responsibility?

ANCIENT ONE

Yes, I trust you implicitly

Besides, it has to be one of us

I'd offer to trade places with you but I don't think you'd like the alternative

WONG

Is it really worse than minding Stephen Strange?

ANCIENT ONE

...Debatable
