It… kind of feels like we're talking at cross purposes, here.

I'm not going where I must, I wind up here and there. I'm not in the CIA. There are no orders or even the capacity to help from afar. And as for accolades and praise… quite honestly I don't know what you'd like me to say to that, it's so out of left field. Is it an insult?
