The Adventures of Dod

"Why be mad when you can choose to be happy?" 

"I don't imagine he'll be here to bother you tonight....He's out watching again." 

"If you want something bad enough, you'll fight with all you've got to get it." 

"I thought we had an agreement!  Didn't you sign with your knife?" 

"Always question the unusual, but be particularly skeptical of the apparent. Your opponent, if he or she is witty, will capitalize on the obvious to ensnare you.  Don't fall for it." 

"Con won't mind.  If he's not here yet, we better eat while we still have a chance--that boy's as big as a barge. I'd pull a frog out my nose if he eats anything less than half-a-cow per day." 

"I'd imagine all sorts of foolish articles will post about me--how I hate noble billies. They'll claim the most absurd things..." 

"Oh, and Eluxa, if you think Bowy ever noticed you, you're the one with a horrible memory!" 

"...I could have died.  Some dosippitous corranus handled my riggings today." 

"We mostly think about tragedy in terms of what has happened, not what could have happened." 

 "It's the best in all of us, the grand dream, the lingering hope of what my family trusts can one day become everyone's inheritance."

 "The day anyone from Green beats Sawb is the day I fancy up and prance the halls like Eluxa."

"You better hurry, Dod.  You've got to sign in or Mr. Clair won't let you duel--and you're up first in the level-five ring." 

"Fine enough, but can't you let an old lady like myself use your facility first.  I'm likely to leak any minute. Your men rudely dragged me away from the shipyard, claiming I was trouble..." 

"It doesn't matter what ya want.  Yer gonna have to take it." 

 "Ludicrous!  Are you going to let me out, or not?"

 "Then good!  Their anger will serve me well!"

"Ludicrous!  Stand back....You're telling me he's a threat?" 

"Promise me you'll seek out the full truth and the secrets after I'm dead..."

"Whoa, Zippod! Cool down."
