Datak Tarr and Galen Marsh in “Everything is Broken”

I've worked hard to take control of this town, to win respect, and in one reckless act, you've trivialized me. Come morning, every soul in this town will be asking themselves, "Who's running the place, Datak Tarr or the Earth Republic?"

Yes, well, as I say, you will be compensated.

Yes, Castithans love money, can't get enough of it. Amusing. Now, I strongly suggest you dig deep and afford me some courtesy.

You are one uppity little haint. You know, after all of this is over, you're going right back to being a nobody.
