"That dragon would not be here if it weren't for my quick actions. Both of those things were headed straight at it, and it was a moment of benevolence which drove me to take an action which would spare it from having to face both of those things down at once." He says calmly enough in response to Flood.
"This might seem like a fun game while you're playing it, but I do not take unnecessary actions which imperil myself or those I depend upon. You were successful tonight... I call that luck, not skill. Fortune was on our side tonight but that will not always be the case. You've got a reputation for violence, certainly, but I have a reputation for success. There is a difference. Keep that in mind. I haven't lived as long as I have by making stupid decisions."
How a Ford Bronco could be more easily tracked than a Party Bus was still something Bertram simply could not understand. The Bus was heavier, slower, far more visible, less aerodynamic (so it would get less gas mileage which means they would need to stop more leaving them more vulnerable), and about the only advantage to it was it was apparently the only thing in the universe capable of holding a 7 foot tall man, because a Ford Bronco is incapable of that, and it was a matter which had him puzzled. However, they seemed to insist on the bus and Bertram saw no reason to set himself off to the side as a target so onto the bus he would go.
