"It's great ye are, Young Glory. There's nobody but yourself could decave them. It's time we have for talkin' now, an' it's mesilf 'd like to know how ye stopped them spalpeens from shootin' me."
"When I saw you taken prisoner, Dan, I determined to save you. The boats went back to the cruiser, but I didn't."
