One by one, "The American Dream" offers:
- to give Ricky a happy and safe life with Esther, including a child and a home workout room, in exchange for laying down his weapon and allowing the dream to pass. Ricky refuses, claiming that while this is is dream, its not what everyone else wants.

- Kingston a life with Liz and the child he never had with her, he says he is too old for that to sway him having made his peace and turns him down.
Pete crits on an arcana check to see the true form of the American dream, seeing that for it to be in its true form it must remain in Nod where it can reflect whatever any individual wants. He sees that the form in front of them was just Roberts ideal. Pete thinks that if this form is destroyed he will be able to put its other forms in Nod where it belongs.
