[Jones limps his way over to Beatrix; not to hurt, but to rant at, dripping seawater across the deck as he goes]
Every day on this ship drifts into another! It is a purgatory the likes of which I can scarce imagine, hour after hour of inanity and servitude and imprisonment! When I tell yeh that putting me in your Level Zero or running me through will make no difference, know it to be true! And when I say that running an upstart brat through with a sword or tossing him over the side would only bring a single spark of satisfaction before returning to the torturous drudgery that's become my existence, take me at my word as well! It is not out of cruelty, although that would be reason enough; it is to break the monotony, to force this Admiral to place me off his ship, to do something to show that you will still have to fight tooth and nail to control me, even as I lose time and time again!
