"No, we have to attack now! We can't show mercy; we can't give them a chance to get stronger. What is wrong with you, Rochester? Don't tell me you've lost sight of our goal. This is what we've been working towards for so long."
"Grant," Rochester said sternly, "don't let your anger cloud your judgement. We have worked hard so we can do this correctly - without any problems. We need a plan. Barging in there without thinking won't accomplish anything; it's more likely to cause problems than be any help to us."

"No 'but', Grant. I am the leader and you will respect my decision."
"This could be our only chance!" Grant cried hoarsely. "And you're just going to throw it away? Think of what they've done to you - to all of us! They must be punished."
