[It's a hundred and fifty years of bad habit. Habits he doesn't seem really intent on breaking.]
If you have to scrutinize the label to begin with, perhaps you'd be better off looking at different cans. [Tone ever so mild, Knives offers a can of dog food.] You might find this more to your liking.
[Knives has encountered genuine aliens before, the collective intelligence of the sandworms had been daunting when he was small. But they were sapient creatures, for all that they didn't build cities or spaceships or infect the universe. As Vegeta declares himself ruler of a warrior race, there's a sound from Knives that sounds almost like that figures but it's not precisely clear.]
Humanity isn't quite so incompetent where I'm from. They have a thing for working in large numbers. Wipe out millions and millions more just pop back up. [Guess who has a low opinion of the entire species?] It's true what they say, about one sting being an irritant but thousands being lethal. They've found a way to turn stupidity and malice into weaponry, and are very good at wielding it.
[The claim to royalty doesn't seem to phase him much at all though. Hierarchies like that were very old hat in that desert.] I'll take your word for it. You seem to know who I am already so I'll forgo declaring my name and species.
