"I'm not buyin', I said I was looking for a bargain. See, the way I see it? Everybody's got a gimmick of some sort; mine's a little more flashy than most people's, but that's that. And believe it or not, but I'm a good boy here." He grinned his best 'I am so totally a nice dude so you should lighten up' grin to emphasize the point. "I want to get out of this dump and take my buds with me, which means I'll have to rub elbows with bunches of people just to see who's gone where and done what."
"To put it another way... I thought that you, with a clone of death and doom, in that order, would have been halfway competent and figured some things out. If you haven't, then shoot, I'll let you get back to your snoozing. No skin off my nose either way."
