COWI: You barely gave this planet a chance before brushing it off as not the absolute best thing in the universe. But it took you eons to find it! Millions and millions of years! You should be more interested in the human race than this. GODHEAD: Wow. I really didn't want to say this but earth is clearly a failure. I know it is because earth is exactly like my planet, and you see how that turned out.

I know what you're gonna say. The only reason the planet is dead is because I took The Deal. But the state, the very nature of the place I come from forced me to make that decision. CoWi, earth is just the same. Maybe if humans didn't enslave anything with a brain they could stop and realize that they have an actual alien species among them! They could learn so much from Walnut and advance their civilization beyond the starting point. But nobody listens to her! Not even you! COWI: Aren't these the exact thoughts you resent your Master putting in your head to influence you to take The Deal? The Deal's premise lies on the assumption that its taker will be cynical about the future of their world and end it prematurely. But you don't know what the future of your planet would have been, and you can't predict earth's either.

Even though Lisa Sharp has been terrible to her sister...I still believe that their family can be saved. GODHEAD: What is the point? You shouldn't even talk about that one in front of Walnut's real family. COWI: What do Walnut's ties to this fantasy matter when Lisa Sharp is the one who has actually been here? GODHEAD: CoWi!
