Cress: I think my dad would like you, if he were alive.
Thorne: Really? Because he said some pretty nasty things to me before he passed, that I wasn't good for you and all.
Cress: Okay, I lied a little bit. He'd probably hate you.
Thorne: Because I'm taller than him and so much more charming?
Thorne: Because I'm an Earthen?
Cress: No. Because of your reputation.
Cress: But...you're not like that anymore.
Thorne: When the media isn't chasing you constantly, you don't have to put up a fake persona.
Cress: Oh, I see. You're not really a player and a rebel and a bad boy and a hero, huh?
Thorne: Well, maybe I was, but not anymore. I've changed.
Cress: Because of me or because you don't want Cinder to kill you?
Thorne: Both.
Thorne: But mostly you.
Cress: That's nice, but you don't have to lie.
Cress: You have a list of the threats Cinder's given you on you port.
Thorne: Okay, mostly Cinder.
Thorne: But I'd like to think that you started it all.
Cress: Awe.
