God, you're shameless.

So, when you fell overboard... that port didn't change you much, did it?

It means that we haven't even been away from port for 24 hours, and you're already making speeches over your brother's body.

Did you think to, I dunno, ask if he's here? Check around? Or were you hoping he wouldn't make himself known so you could win points with a nice little speech?

You're a prick, highness.

Listen, I don't know you, but I know enough to know that you're a menace.

The last time I saw Peter, he was being arrested. I got knocked out and don't know how I made it back. I'm not used to your corrupt, fascist little world and I didn't know he would make it back.

Don't you dare try to tell me how I felt about what I thought was my brother's death. You have no idea.

...really. I'm a menace? God, that's rich. Okay, how am I menace?

Oh, and by my 'corrupt, fascist little world', d'you mean Manchester?

Actually, your speech gives a pretty clear idea.

You people. You do something amazing and suddenly you think the rules don't apply to you, that you're better than everyone else. I'm here to tell you that you're not and that you should be a lot more careful who it is that you're so quick to judge.

I mean this Barge.

I don't care how well you think you know my brother, you don't know him nearly as well as I do. Peter would want to be loved but he cares more about saving people than roses and I wanted to do some good in his name.

You mean... police officers?

This isn't my world, and I don't want to be here anymore than you do.

I don't believe you. I think you smelled opportunity and pounced on it.

That's good. Keep pretending.

I'm glad to know that you always assume the worst in people. I'll keep that in mind if I ever need anything in future. And stay away from me, because I can't afford for your cynicism to tarnish my goals of a better place.

Right, I'll keep doing that with my pretend badge and everything.

No, not in people. Just in politicians who can't even wait 'til the body's cold.
