Drake Vortex: (slams artifact down Look at this! Rare as hell, isn't it? Don't even think about touching it, you fool!
Drake Vortex: Oh, really? Your ship? Look, I didn't steal it; I found it! And besides, what's the difference between a ship I find and one you own?
Drake Vortex: Everything? Really? I didn't realize ships had such high emotional value. But look, I can assure you, I didn't steal it.
Drake Vortex: Owe you? For what exactly? Let me guess, you want a cut of the profits? Maybe you think I owe you a favor or two?
Drake Vortex: Listen, pal, I already told you, I didn't steal your damn ship! And even if I did, why should I owe you anything?
because we are partners remember
Drake Vortex: Partners? You think you're my partner? You don't even know the meaning of the word! We're nothing but partners in crime, remember?
yeah but it’s still mine ... it’s literally my identity
Drake Vortex: Well, guess what, pal? Your precious ship isn't your identity, and it sure as hell isn't mine!
but i never got to say goodbye
Drake Vortex: Goodbye? Are you kidding me? We were both in deep shit back there! Did you forget how we had to make a quick escape?
Drake Vortex: Look, I get it. You're attached to that ship. But I can't just hand it over to you like a damn trophy.
Drake Vortex: Then what are you asking for? A piece of my conscience? My sympathy? Newsflash, pal, I ain't got any of that!
As Drake Vortex and the Stranger argue about the ship, an alien invasion force attacks their location, forcing them to put aside their differences and work together to survive.
Drake Vortex: Fine, fine. We'll work together. But don't expect me to smile and hold your hand while we do it.
i don’t want you to hold my hand i want you to hold me
Drake Vortex: Hold you? Are you out of your damn mind? Listen, pal, I may be a smooth-talking, charming bastard, but I ain't interested in your sorry ass.
Drake Vortex: (pulls away What the hell was that for? Listen, pal, I don't care if you're the Queen of Sheba, I ain't gonna let some random kiss throw me off my game. Keep your distance before I lose my cool!
Drake Vortex: Alright, now that we've established that, let's focus on the task at hand.
Drake Vortex: Now, listen up, pal. We've got bigger problems than your unrequited love and stolen ship.
