great refusal

A phrase from the Divine Comedy by Dante. Its meaning has been debated by literary scholars, who believe it to either refer to the resignation of the Papacy by Celestine V, or the killing of Christ by Pontus Pilate.
“I saw and recognized the shade of him
who made, through cowardice, the great refusal”

Refusal

It's not that. You really gotta look up the full terms of service because initially I was very comprehensive. Even I cannot violate the separations clause. You see how you feel entitled to me playing ball with you?
Hym "I mean, it's not a refusal. This isn't 'a choice that you have.' It's 'a thing that I am' I don't know what to tell you, chief. You can call it whatever you want... There is a possibility that I DON'T have to do anything you or anyone says... And, conversely, YOU DO have to do at least some of the things that I say... So... I don't know what to tell you. You have no choice but to treat with me... Well, or go extinct. Or be a genius of equal caliber. Which you are not. Because if you were this would not be happening. So..."

I refuse

If I have to be good in spite of what you're doing to me...
Hym "Then what happens when I refuse? Is it better for everyone or worse? If it's better in a 'necessary evil' kind of way than I'm happy to oblige. And if it's worse I'm happy to do that too. Just to ensure that what you're doing has a cost. What is the cost, you say? Well, it won't be nothing."
