Book 12: Force Multiplication — Part III: Fight or Flight

Transcript

NARRATOR: Shephard residence, Baffler's Bulkhead, Haven Hive...

TINO: So... umm... how do I look?

BUNNI: The truth?

TAILOR: My tailoring is not about truth.

MA SHEPHARD: Be nice to the poor boy.

BUNNI: You look like every other slab-chested, over-shouldered, testosterone-poisoned grunt I've worked with.

You're hard to see around, and you look optimistic about your chances to become something more than just meat for the grinder.

BUNNI: You look like a fresh cog in the battered, weathered, and not-uncommonly broken war machine whose squishier bits scream for my help when they go squish.

BUNNI: YOU LOOK LIKE A SOLDIER.

TINO: Oh!  Thank you, Ma'am.

BUNNI: Except for that ridiculous haircut.  SCISSORS!
