Jon Cooper

Why are you recording this?

Ara Shondu

For posterity, Jon. People will need proof you were sworn in.

Jon Cooper

Hate the sound of my voice on those goddamn things.

Ara Shondu

It’s just for my personal record. No one will hear it. Okay, are you ready?

I’ll take your silence as a yes.

Okay. Do you, Jon Cooper, solemnly swear to uphold the laws of Paradise and to honor all values and moralities this badge represents?

Jon, you have to say yes out loud.

Jon Cooper

I know. The words in the oath. They’re a bit constricting. I’d just like to do the job.

Ara Shondu

We just have to get through this formality. Then you can do the job any way you need to. I trust you, so please say yes.

Jon Cooper

Yes.

Ara Shondu

Thank you.

Do you promise to defend this territory and the citizens therein against all enemies, foreign and domestic, while obeying all orders within the legal limitations of the county?

Jon Cooper

Yes.

Ara Shondu

And do you accept this obligation freely and of your own free will, without any mental reservations or restrictions?

Jon Cooper

So you’re asking if I’m crazy to take this job. Yes. I most certainly am.

Ara Shondu

That’s it. You are now Paradise’s sworn lawkeeper and upholder of new frontier justice. Congratulations.

Jon Cooper

Thanks. Can’t wait to get started.
