[b]That was the last goddamn straw! She's on my last goddamn nerve.[/b] "Insulting me is one thing, but insulting the NCR is another! I've met our goddamn president, he's the least corrupt man on the planet! And you think I can't keep her safe?! By order of the New California Republic, I have to give my life to save civvies like you! And you know what, you're being a fûcking racist! Generalizing is humans like you've met us all! I'm betting you haven't met more than ten of us! You know, if you'd just give me a goddamn chance you'd see I'm the best damn protector on the planet! I've protected people from countless others, probably more than there are in old NYC! Guess what?! None of them even got hurt! Artemis is not safe back there! She's gonna get killed! One day somebody's gonna get a little too rough and that slash across the back will sever her spinal cord, and probably fûcking kill her! I'm one of the best goddamn shots she's got at actually being able to live a free life and you're going to deny her that?! What the fûck is wrong with you?! It's not your choice! It's hers! If she wants to stay, she's staying, dammit! And I'm giving you a chance to get away too! Away from it all! Away from all that bullshit stuff that happens back at your den! Just fûcking take it! If you're there with Artemis, you can make sure I'm doing my fûcking job!"
