Humans are messier than most things. Monsters mostly just want to eat and not be bothered. [Which isn't a take most monster hunters have; Dan's one of the few, the only one he knows of, who tries to foster coexistence between monsters and humans, rather than just exterminating the former like some particular deadly pest.] I'm Dan.

[Price told him about CT briefly, no more information than that she was an agent and doesn't like Price. Dan doesn't see any reason to let that color their interaction, especially weaving between upturned carts and burning tents on a horse.]

I didn't realize CT was an abbreviation. [Dan can't read. He doesn't even know his alphabet. He doesn't even know C and T are letters, and in his head he's already mashed her name with the word "ziti."] How'd you end up holding up against the aliens?
