Just like there's parts of you you're drawin' the line at. You grew up to be a knight, right? You were taught all that. You can't get rid of everything without becoming' someone completely different, and you said you weren't going to let some things go.

If I abandoned everything I knew, I wouldn't know what move to make next. Just because I got that as a basis... I'm not limiting myself. Hell, I listen to you, don't I?
[And then he pauses.]
That might be why Elena and I are having problems. She's still thinking like a real Turk...
