"We are afraid of nothing."

" ...I'm sure you have many questions. Here, ...amidst the stars of our own galaxy, we shall seek the answers together. There's so much I want to tell you."

"Maybe if you can wait until we are a wee bit stronger. I don't think we could take it in our present condition." 

"I so much want your understanding. I want your respect. Are you afraid to hear me out?"

"I can feel it. Can't you?" 

"This is some kind of trick." 

"I've done everything I can do. You've got to hang on."
