Captain Kwong: You swallow this pride of yours. You follow the rules. You become an officer. You get your own room. You get a nice bed. We eat well. We don't go on patrol. We're cool in the summer. We're warm in the winter. And best of all, when you're an officer, you get to tell the Bethanys of the world exactly where to shove it.

Ellie Williams: Why do you even care?

Captain Kwong: I care because no matter what anyone out there says or thinks, we're the only thing holding this all together. If we go down, the people in the zone will starve or murder each other. That much I know. There's a leader in you. And one day, it could be your turn.
