I'm Not Family, You're Not Family

Joel has a certain narcissism that he must go save Tommy. In the first episode, Tommy calls him from jail and he's like, I got to go bail him out. There is another thing that he says to Ellie in this conversation. He's talking about family. If you don't do this, hope for the world where my father's going on. You haven't seen the world, so you don't know. Keep going for family.
