Decision Point

• "Hey, hey. Let's be straight with each other. I know the Vanguard's watching me. Probably want you to snitch, am I right? [laughs] If you're considering, I get it. Ol' Drifter likes to play both sides, too. But think about it. You stand with them, you're a dead man/woman walking. Gambit's pissed off a whole lotta dangerous people. You stand with me, I got your back. Trust. So what'll it be?"

Siding with the Vanguard

• "You're pickin' the Vanguard over me, huh? [chuckles] You punk. But every man's/woman's got to have a code. I get it. I got one, too. Out of respect for principles (and a righteous fear of Ikora's big-ass shotgun)… you do you, kid. But, I'm gonna change your mind about me. Whoever, or whatever you think I am… You're wrong. How's that suit ya? Snitch."

Siding with the Drifter

• "Hahaha! You got grit, kid. I admire a man/woman willing to risk the trust of everyone who's ever been kind to him/her. But lemme set the record straight - you're choosin' to walk with a monster. Monsters survive. Trust. People change. Priorities change. Stick with me, and you'll see that. Now. As a symbol of our new partnership. I need a favor from ya. Got a shipment waiting in the Tangled Shore. Pick it up for me. I'll tell Spider you're comin'."
