Freeman: You can't just bully your way into whatever you want. Why do you act like this?
Mariner: Because I'm a Kirk-style free spirit who kicks butt and super-intimidates people. You know that. That's why you've always protected me from being court-martialed
Freeman: You're not a Kirk. Kirk was confident.
Mariner: So am I!
Freeman: You used to be. But now the only thing you're confident of is that everything has to be a fight. You have to drop your defences and make some allies!
