[Dutch's expression breaks out into a grin and he gives a dismissive wave of his hand.]
Sean? He's one of those loud ones I told you about. He never stops makin' noise. Talks in his sleep, too. And those two're always up to some trouble or another. We have to keep leashes on both of 'em or they wind up pissin' off half the town. Good men, though. Sean especially. That kid's got more energy to him than half the camp combined.

[He's very proud of all his boys, it seems. Even Bill, who, despite all his flaws is exceptionally loyal. If there's one person Dutch knows would never betray him, it's Bill. He doesn't even put that kind of faith in some of the long-standing members.

He wonders just how loyal Faith is to what she believes in. No matter what she does, or what she's hiding, Dutch is more concerned about one thing: her discretion. He's already offered an invitation to see what the gang's about, and won't renege on that.]


And all these folks in our camp, they came the way they are. I'd never ask for anyone to change themselves or what they do, to conform to some arbitrary notion of how folks oughta be. My favorite author says, a man can't change his nature, and I say why try? Embrace it. Embrace your nature, and we'll embrace it with you, Miss Lehane.

[He knows precisely which point of pressure he's leaning on, trying to eke out some hint of her nature that she hasn't already offered up.]
