“I need to stop spending time with you people,” Jory complained. “I only ever get in fights when you’re around.” “Good man,” Gary said, slapping him on the back almost hard enough to send him over the side.

“Yeah, I don't like Wolverine,” Farrah agreed. “Hugh Jackman was so much sexier in Kate and Leopold.” “I know, right?” Jason said. “The way that man talks about butter. I mean, bloody hell. What were we talking about?” “Diminishing returns.”

“I don’t want to live at some marina again,” Jason said. “I want to find a nice little spot, maybe buy an out-of-the-way plot and put my cloud house on it. Arnote is perfect for that.” “Livaros will have crystal wash.” “SHADE! We’re changing course!”

“That's not my strong suit,” Jason warned. “I'm more familiar with plans that seem great in my head and more-or-less work but have unintended consequences because I really don't know what I'm doing or just couldn't keep my mouth shut.”

“You can eat spirit coins if you like,” Farrah told him. “I’ve lived in the land of refined sugar.”

She patted the frog affectionately on the back. “You’re a good boy, aren’t you, Neil?” “That,” Jason said with a grin, “is a superb choice of name.”

“Because I’m clearly a man of mystery. I lead a life of danger, excitement and baked goods.”

“You’re sweet,” Sophie said, placing a hand on his arm. “We’re definitely torturing the evil zealots, though.”

“Remind me to punch Vesper Rimaros in the boob,” he said. “No,” Rufus said, reaching out to tap the pin on Jason’s shirt and shut the screen off.

“I apologise for the lack of decorum on the part of my team members,” he said. “They’re mostly thieves and hooligans.”

“This does not mean the task ahead of us is easy,” Soramir said. “Only that it is possible at all. Make no mistake: many of us will fall today. The price we pay for our kingdom’s safety—for its very survival—will be high. But we will pay it, because that is our duty. Throughout the history of this kingdom, we have always stood at the top. Now the time has come for us to stand at the front.”

“You’re doing something,” Jason assured him. “I am?” “Damn right you are.” “What am I doing?” “Looking good. You’re a big, sexy chocolate drop.” “Thanks, bro,” Taika said brightly. “That’s nice of you to say.”
