And I'm here to tell you that I can't allow you to do that. I try and drag her back anyway. Then you tell me that you'll kill us all if you don't, you then try to kill us all, and if we survive, we win.

-Turns to glower at Michael- Gosh, I'm sure glad you went to all this trouble to hear from someone else what you didn't want to hear from me. How many times has this happened now? Are we up to twelve? I think we're up to twelve.

...I'm just the muscle here. -All whopping four feet of him- You're gonna want to talk to my boss. You've got my permission to enter to speak with him as long as you don't hurt anyone there.

"Yeah...someone's gotta take care of her before she starts seriously hurting people..."
"...Alright. We're not givin' Short back after all this...but here's what we'll do. Take this offer to your boss. Ransom fund, and in exchange, he returns the gear you stole, destroys the information he's got on us, you all agree to mind wipes, nobody gets hurt."

Who crowned you with your name?
