“I’ll be your Court Jester. I’ll entertain and advise. I’ll gain countless fans and foes, as befits my station. And on some fateful day, I’ll watch you marry an archetypal suitor with immaculate teeth and table manners. And whilst the wedding guests fill themselves with bucketloads of alcohol, I’ll mock everyone within a twenty-foot radius, and they’ll despise me for it, as much as they’ll lust after me for it, as much as they’ll resent me for it.”
