It's good to be cautious, I guess, but it's not my way. Never has been. I prefer hoping for a better future; it's a better motivation for fighting than pure revenge. How else are we gonna break the cycle of violence?

Rebellions are built on hope, Praetor.

The Alliance will be defeated, don't worry.

No one took pity on me! Hiren sent me to the mines of Remus because I refused to murder my father. I learned to fight from the Remans. I stole a warbird that I still command. I liberated my home world from the Danteri. You, Archer, are the weak man. You were betrayed by your own Captain's Woman!

Xenex is now an important partner in the Rebellion and I'm it's leader.

My "joke" crew is the best damn crew in the entire Rebellion!

I smashed the power of the Danteri almost single-handedly, so you'd better keep a civil tongue in your head, Terran, unless you wanna lose it.
