Ain't Too Proud to Beg/Quotes

I know you wanna leave me
But I refuse to let you go
If I have to beg and plead for your sympathy
I don't mind, doesn't mean that much to me
Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darling
Please don't leave me, don't you go

"I learned that I am under investigation by Trioptimum Internal Security. We have to burn the evidence. The logs of the experiments are protected by the security system SHODAN, so I am hiring a programmer to crack it. With control of SHODAN, we will also own the robots and other systems on the station. That will be my shield if they try and oust me."
