The Adventures of Dod

"You probably thought they were extinct, didn't you?  It's amazing what you can accomplish if you're one of the Zoots." 

"Enjoy Driaxom.  I hope you live a long, long, long life!" 

"He's tilted his glossy eyes at the pile of droppings and missed the whole team of mules pulling the cart." 

"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..."

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

"I thought I told you to run, boy!  Apparently my legs work just fine."

 "You really don't have to do this...if you fall and get hurt, we'll all be in trouble--eyeball deep."

"Come on, boy, settle down. You don't want that putrid thing anyway. I'll find you something better..."

"Our safety?  My little finger!  I think there's a lot they're not saying." 

"You just don't go there and expect to come back alive. Cat fights are wicked." 

 "You can't tell a soul....I was--uh--someplace I shouldn't have been, and I may have heard--"

“Come on, guys. You all did your best today. Don’t judge a player by one bad game.”

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

"Of course he is dricking you....Look ad him."

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

"I almost didn't recognize you with a shirt on." 

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

 "Oh--that Dod."

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

 "I wouldn't quit the Coosings!  Sawb really stretched when he appointed me last year--my family, you know; we're not chauss or toting gold."
