Drummer quotes from The Expanse

Dawes

Assistant Director of Operations. You've come a long way since the loading docks on Ceres. Eh, Mali?

You don't get to call me that anymore, Pampaw.

Dawes

From what people tell me, you're the one really running things around here. We need you back home. It's hard to find good people.

I prefer it here.

Dawes

This floating tin can? I don't know if it's the aching bones or the constipation I miss more.

You been on Ceres too long, eh? You forget how to be a good rock hopper. You're constipated, you stuck a stone to get thing moving. If it's the other problem, you shove that rock up your ass.

Dawes

Do you know how old you are?

Nineteen, I think. Earther years.

Dawes

Even our sense of time comes from them. The time it takes the Earth to spin on its axis... The Earth to go once around the Sun. On Jupiter, you'd be celebrating your first birthday. It's hard to feel we matter out here, isn't it? The distances are so vast. It's hard to believe that we can make a difference.

Who's in charge of security at this goddamn station?

That would be me.

Interesting.

Say what you mean.

Either you're doing an incredibly shitty job or you're no longer in control of the people who work for you.

Ah, Camina. Long time since the docks on Ceres. You have done well for yourself.

You too. Of course, that always was your main concern.
