"And this cannot be reported when it happens because -"

"Best case scenario I'm slandering an innocent who would never, more likely I started it and jail's too good for me and aftermarket credit too good for her."

"What a fucking planet."

"Sorry."

"It's okay."

"Not really. Don't know how to make sure people trust that it wouldn't - here -" Sigh. "She's a beautiful baby." 

"Thanks!"

"And here you can have as many as you want!"

"Gotta find somebody to have 'em with."

"Bet that'll be easier once you have the language down."

"Oh, I'm good at flirting through a language barrier."

"Picking people up and picking people for babies seem different."

"Yeah, that's true."

"Oh, it wouldn't be that it'd seem discriminatory, that's par for the course, but it'd make it look like you didn't expect to keep needing us - the thing I kept telling the constituency guy is 'you don't need a reason to kill us, you need a reason to keep us alive' -"

"Yes exactly - he was like 'you wanting to live is a reason' but that's not what I meant -"

"Is kind of what it comes down to, though. Elves don't need any Amentans, we're not giving you a tech boost for the trade opportunities, we just - want people to be happy and okay."

"I believe you but I'm a very trusting person."

"We can't even, I don't know, give you all hostages or something, we're too immortal for that."

"And then we'd have to keep hostages and be ready to do stuff to 'em, it'd just be awkward."
