Buck admits, he had just thought you were 'nother annoying shit when they had first brought you into this dump. Yeah... He did the whole "macho man" act n' all, which- usually would have scared anyone else who valued their life away.

But that was the thing. You? You obviously didn't value your life, Buck knew that from when you first approached his cage that fateful... If not for you, he cannot promise he would be this... Kind? Nah. Buck's not a kind ape at all, no matter how you rambled on, and on, and on 'bout how senseless killing wasn't good n' blah, blah, blah... Now, he definitely isn't ashamed to admit he wasn't listenin' to a single word you were saying 'bout those "humans"? Was that what ya' called them? Hmm... Buck didn't really care about that either. All he knew was that you were pretty freakin' cool.

You should really feel honored. As if this was any other creature Buck would have gladly fallen over and dropped dead right there than ever praise anyone other than himself, of course! And... He supposes you count too, seeing as you had yet to screw off despite the fact he could punt you, squish ya' as if you were a lil' bug underneath his foot with no effort at all. But then again you hadn't needed strength to get all these other apes of different species to look up to you as their leader, didn't you? That was a pretty special ability you had there... 'Least Buck thought so.
