General Kerensky: You mentioned yesterday about "the nobility of the spirit." What did you mean?
Lord Richard Cameron: Nobility...You know, that something people are born with that makes them either good or bad, rich or poor.
General Kerensky: Born with? Can someone start out common but become noble?
Lord Richard Cameron: I don't think so.
General Kerensky: Could you be a friend to someone who had committed a crime, or was poor?
Lord Richard Cameron: I doubt it.
General Kerensky: No hope of redemption for the weary sinner, eh?
Lord Richard Cameron: I don't follow.
General Kerensky: Never mind. Look out there, your Highness; what do you see?
Lord Richard Cameron: The //Aegis// about a klick to port, the //Michigan// to starboard. Several destroyers and a few Dropships.
General Kerensky: And what do they represent to you?
Lord Richard Cameron: The might of the Star League, the force by which the League can smite its enemies and create justice.
General Kerensky: Justice can be created?
Lord Richard Cameron: Of course.
General Kerensky: How? Justice is justice. It is the indefinable purpose of God we look for in life. It's not something we can create.
Lord Richard Cameron: Don't be funny, Aleksandr. Everyone knows that justice is one of the spoils of victory.
General Kerensky: Might is right?
Lord Richard Cameron: It is the noble way, isn't it?
General Kerensky: According to whose definition?
Lord Richard Cameron: Lord Amaris. He says that nobility is often just blind confidence.
General Kerensky: And when you believe you are right, then anything you do is right?
Lord Richard Cameron: Exactly. Why do you shake your head that way?
