i've said many times that i used to be like you when i was younger babe. i know you don't believe it, maybe don't understand it, but it's true. i was defiant and headstrong and very sure of myself. other people thought they knew better, tried to guide me, and i would not listen, would do the opposite out of spite even. turns out i probably should have listened to a lot of the advice, that most of what i believed was either wrong or didn't serve me. i got some lucky breaks but who knows where i'd be without them? i'm not trying to change you out of spite or to make you the same as me. i care about you and i think i know what's best for you. and i know that bristles you to hear it, i remember what i was like at your age. but it's the truth babe. i'm not trying to make you a liberal, a vegetarian or change your faith, but i do wish you'd respect my beliefs, understand that it's what i think is best, and that i can be a positive influence in your life, a worthy shipmate. because i don't see you headed in the right direction babe, and i want to set you right, and make you happy and comfortable while i do it. think more about what i'm saying, about us, and believe me when i say i only want what i think is best. trust me a little bit and i will show you. love you babe.
