[When Knives speaks again, it's with the slow, careful tone one uses with a particularly stupid child.]
If something looks like something else, but comes from a different place, a different time, and an entirely different reality, they are not the same thing. They are in fact separate and distinct things. To give an example someone even as dense as you might understand..
[He picks up a pair of canned peaches; why they're near the dog food he doesn't know.] These look the same. If you open them up they contain the same things. But they're still not the same. They're two different cans. If I take one away and leave only one behind, they're still different cans. Claiming otherwise only proves the depths of your ignorance, it doesn't change obvious fact.
[He doubts it'll sink into Vegeta's skull, he seemed more the sort to think with his muscles and not his head. As if by sheer refusal to accept reality they could make reality bend to his whim! It just doesn't work that way. And Knives.. isn't going to be stuck with someone else's doings.
Calling this place 'hell' draws a snort. It might be a cage, but it was better than any hell he knew of. It had oceans, lakes, rivers, green things from border to border. If he could just figure out how to duplicate this prison, the human problem on his world would be solved for good, without setting off his brother's delicate sensibilities..!]
Ah, I see. Then ignorance really is a universal trait. That's terribly unfortunate. Thankfully ignorance can be taught away.
[He wasn't an alien, anyway! But if Vegeta didn't know exactly where plants come from, that's just fine, he's not going to explain it.] If you're not human, then please enlighten me; what are you supposed to be?
