The Adventures of Dod

 "E-everything you can see from here to L-Lake Mauj is his, and the l-lake is his, too."

"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..." 

"If they're your friends, then why do they lie to you?" 

"...all of Raul should be proud of the way you fight.  You're the best I've ever trained.  Your father would be proud." 

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

"I think part of me has already fallen asleep--not because of your stories, they're wonderful.  I just have--ah--a problem with my legs." 

"I'd rather dig ditches at Twistyard than be eating maggot puke here in Driaxom." 

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

 "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."

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

"I can assure you, nobody has stepped foot in your quarters since my guards discovered the door had been breached..."

 "WE'RE TAKING RAUL DOWN!"

"I guess that's what you get for sleeping in.  You're a link left out of the chain." 

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

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

 "Don't worry, they're up to real action."

"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."

"We need another quick mind around here these days--tough times with the likes of Dreaderious and his kind lurking about."

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

 "...The Beast is really close!  Watch out, Boot!"
