"I'm glad you think I can handle it. You can trust me." A solemn promise from the cook, who crosses his heart with a gloved finger before he accepts the armclasp. Kinner takes his promises seriously, and he wants Furiosa to know that.

"Ace. I remember him, back at the, uh, Citadel. I think that's what you call it. Decent man, a bit rough 'round the edges, like me. Hope your friends are doin' well, back in your home world. I'd be worried about mine, but I reckon it's out of my hands now."

Kinner still hopes a member of his crew will drop by eventually so he can learn what happened after he was killed by the Thing. He especially wants to learn if the monster is dead, so the threat to his world has been dealt with. The Thing is hypothetically a threat to entire planets.
