The Adventures of Dod

 "Show them you're a Chantolli, my boy!  Show them!"

"You've lost your freshy-mind, fool!  Now we're both out of the game!" 

"In your dreams, maggot!" 

"Less tads, less swappers....We're down to forty-six, and only three of them are aided by swappers. It's tragic. I suppose we may live to see the day when they'll all be a thing of the past."

"Fourteen? You're hardly weaned. Where's your mother? I should expect she is worried stiff that you've escaped your crib....Perhaps you've lost your way..."

"So he's dead and life goes on without him, huh?"

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

"Dod, you must be made of something more durable than I am. It's your lucky feet, I guess." 

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

"She's going to get you one of these days.  You better watch your back...if you prank her wrong, she'll plunk you with her sword...only to discover later that you were kidding."

"As you can all see, I'm a fortunate man indeed..." 

"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." 

"I'm sorry, Ingrid.  As a mayler, I think I'm more needed on that untamed horse." 

 "Yes, that's very true--The Dread--my goodness, I hate thinking of The Dread."

 "Justice needs to be served, and I'm more than ready to dish it out!"

"They were busy helping Boot's mommy...or is that his girlfriend?"

"I'm serious about bad luck. It's funny until it happens to you..." 

"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." 

 "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."

"You putrid, loathing, degenerate snake!"
