"And you know what? You may be jaded, but the way you talk, a part of you still believes in things. Don't let that die, okay? No matter what you see. No matter who you lose. That part's important. Sometimes, we can't always listen to that part of ourselves that believes in something bigger, just because life's rotten on occasion and it'll kick our teeth in if we do. But it's still important that it's there. I may be invulnerable, but it doesn't mean I haven't been kicked in the face now and again, like really kicked in the face--and that part saved me. Probably saved me from myself, to be honest."

"Anyway, you got some brass balls yourself. Even if I think you're a little too young for all this, you seem like you're a fighter, like you roll with the punches, and it...well, it kinda reminds me of me. If you ever need someone to watch your back, I might have my frowny face on because of your methods, but I'll be there--and maybe I can make it easier for you to not have to shank anybody, you know? The teamwork thing's good for making it easier to get out alive."
