* "I'm strong enough and smart enough for anything you throw at me."
* "Is that it? I fail the final because I can't tell you in fifty words or less why I want to do this? You may have all the tools of the trade, but you don't have a monopoly on wanting to help. I'll tell you why, you big scary goon...because I can."
* "I use their expectations against them. That will be their weakness. Not mine. Let them underestimate me. Let them think they have the upper hand over the little girl.

And when their guard is down and their pride is rising...let me kick their asses around their ears."
