- Sir Alec Meyerson: Listen to me. Pierce is first class, but you have something I need, and I don't mean your inability to toe the line. It's just that in this rather nasty little war we seem to be fighting I'd like to think that I have you on my side. And it might just be that working together we could do some good.

- Sir Alec Meyerson: Yes?
