" Don't worry about them, they're just a little on edge with- well everything... We just weren't expecting things to turn out this way. You didn't do anything wrong. "
" You don't want to see what you don't want to see- but whoever these people are.. they're not just your average idealists- they're making people scared, uncomfortable. They're trying to give us a reason to trust them- And whatever the hell it is they follow... "

The world isn't kind to people who don't fit in its box- But that don't mean you bow down to it... No matter what happens there will always be one thing that no one can strip you from: And that's who the fuck you are. "
" We cannot afford to mess this up, if anything goes wrong we're dead. You're the only ones I can trust with this job, so whatever issues you have with each other put it away for now... We need to stay focused. Copy? "

" I remember when I was a kid I used to ride dirt bikes with my cousins. We would get so muddy and dirty and my mom would yell at us for coming back to our camp so late. The campfires we had with the family after long days… I never realized how much I would miss that until I didn't have it anymore. "
" I don't wanna do this anymore. I want to live somewhere nice, somewhere I can settle down. Somewhere I don't have to fight my way through everything all the fucking time. It was fun for a while, sure- being reckless and stupid. But I'm tired of it…“
" I know you two would just love to tear each other's throat out but if we want to get this job done and done right you're gonna have to just kiss and make up and SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR TWO SECONDS! “
