Elise: Why are you here?
Avasarala: I need to understand your son.
Elise: And what will that accomplish now?
Avasarala: I have two governments and whatever the hell the OPA calls itself on a course toward a war that your son started. I want to stop it before anyone else loses a kid.

Listen to me, you guys give that skiff the proper set of codes and they have to back off.

Amos: This boss I used to work for in Baltimore, he called it the churn. When the rules of the game change.
Kenzo: What game?
Amos: The only game. Survival.

Avasarala: I have intelligence that says your son survived the Donnager. Now, will you stop posturing and help me keep him that way.
Elise: Where is he?
Avasarala: Why did Jimmy leave?
Elise: Is that for me? To take me to some windowless room so your interrogators can make me talk?
Avasarala: Nobody wants to arrest you.
Elise: Then why are you here?
Avasarala: I have the facts about your son, but I don't understand him.

We set him up to be a leader and then gave him a fight he could never win. The day before his eighteenth birthday, I took him out to mend a fence and I told him to get as far away from this place as he could.
