It's my job to protect people, and to help get justice for those who've suffered. [So he was willing to do whatever it took for everyone from day 1] I'm glad we're friends now, though, even if I wish you guys didn't have to end up down here for it.

Besides, I think I'm a pretty good judge of character. I could tell you were good people, and I was right. [He would've wanted to save them anyway, but it's different now, in a good way.]
That's a talent of mine as well! A necessary one. [ for a prince, who is supposed to be good at delegating. ] I can spot good character right away—and you've always struck me as a good man, Luke.
