from Deadpool & Wolverine
Written by Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Zeb Wells, Shawn Levy

Peter attempts to convince a disillusioned Wade Wilson to return to his superhero roots while they change in a locker room. Wade insists he is content with his mundane life in sales, despite the obvious lack of passion for his new career path.
PETER: I keep it in my locker in case we need to saddle up again.
WADE: Hey, hey hey. What is it doing in there? I’m done. I’m done, and I’m fine with being done.
PETER: Okay, Mr. Wilson.
WADE: Aim for the middle and you’ll never miss.
