Celesi can't make up her damned mind, Millie's on my back, and you're going on about planetary defenses? Do you honestly have that much faith in the Force?

Fine. They told me to take the gamble. They're staying, but they want a blasted evac route and protocol. And for the record, the Excel's mine now, just like Shino told me. That's the first installment of her payment for selling me out. There's still a massive logical flaw in your argument, but if I don't stop hearing this whole "trust in the Force" poodoo you're spewing, I'm liable to take a blaster to my head.

I have plenty of faith in the Force. But you're not me. I have no idea what you really have faith in. I don't ask you trust in the Force if you don't want to.

I also have faith in the people who have sworn to protect us on this planet. That's why I go on about planetary defenses - they exist for a reason. These people are good at their jobs. As am I, and I swear I will do all in my power to protect your family.

Good heavens, man...

... trust in the FORCE? I may be lucky, but I'm not insane! Okay, I may be that too -- but ain't no mystical field controlling MY destiny. Except for when it deposited me in this hellish timeline. So you see how much stock I place in the Force.

Besides, what luck have people had with the Force? Masters Dorr and Yrmont were about as lucky as the Sith we've killed. But they were luckier than Kaya, Lyle and Jet.

I trust in three things, and three things only:

  1. My guns
  2. My luck
  3. The fact that there aren't two more devious bastards in the entire Galaxy, alive or dead, who can stop us.
I'm glad that I appear to have not misjudged you twice now; that you came to your senses to realize that your family is safer if you use your talents to fight for them, rather than hide with them.

Of course... I thought I didn't misjudge Jet twice either...

Re: Good heavens, man...

If you hear it often enough, you'll do anything to shut people up.

Now, as for me, I trust the following.

  1. Logic
  2. Reason
  3. The fact that there aren't two more devious bastards in the entire Galaxy, alive or dead, who can stop us.
Of course, I've added the Dubrin Zahn Corollary to the mix, which is a bit of a conundrum, since you're, quite honestly, the luckiest nerf-herder I've ever had the displeasure of pissing off.

As for the Force depositing us here, well, as inexplicable as it sounds, I still don't believe it. The ability to tear through spacetime isn't entirely so special that it couldn't have just been some freak accident brought on by the disgusting mix of technologies in that old ship.

And, again, I never planned on hiding with them. I just don't see the logic in having a jeweler living in a military installation.
