"That is not all you are," Lincoln answers, because although they're speaking of her father right now, he needs her to know that. He needs her to hear it, even if she can't believe it about herself yet. "I didn't ask you to help me with this because you can fight. I asked because you care. Because you want to protect people. Because you're loyal and fierce and you dislike injustice as much as I do. Fighting isn't the only thing you ever learned and if he were to ever think that of you, it would be clear to me and everyone else who loves you that he doesn't have the slightest idea what he's talking about."

And if Galen Erso does think that, then Lincoln is going to have a thing or two to say to him about his daughter. A thing or two to teach him. And a few choice words that may be a little less friendly than their initial meeting.
