"More importantly, it's pizza time!"

While the children tuck into their pizza, Bill continues quietly conversing with Mrs Carson. "Your daughter is turning out to be an excellent convert."

"Well, all those examinations the government did should have made them confident of that. But she's always been a sweet child. I'm glad she gets the chance."

Permalink

"It's certainly helped the Fearsome Foursome's chances."

She shakes her head a bit. "I don't quite like that name, you know."

Permalink

"I was outnumbered. And most of my suggestions as it turned out didn't translate well to English."

She chuckles. "Well, as long as the good kids get it first and lay down - norms, or traditions, or whatever it is, it's going to help everyone else get turned sooner, right?"

"Three million, three hundred thousand and counting."

"It's a good thing. Even if it came at a terrible cost."

"There shall never be another Berlin."

"I should very well hope so. But it's a scar."

"I like to think of it as a broken bone. The break is forever evident, but it heals stronger."

(In the background, Gren has reluctantly withdrawn her pineapple position. For now.)

"Forgive me if my metaphors seem unwieldy. When an !Qell scars, we just pay for a replacement."

Permalink

"So we don't need to rub their faces in it, right Crash?"

Permalink

"Yeah. Would Dad approve?"

Permalink

"Don't talk to me about dad. I hardly never see him, he's not, not... Important. Mom and Coach are the ones who really matter."

Permalink

"I know, but he's like, I don't know, an example?"

Permalink

"Eh. Guess so."

Permalink

"And we do kinda owe Redglare."

Permalink

"He's just one guy. He could have been anybody. He could have been from Georgia. Or Idaho."

Permalink

"Remember when we met that kid he had with Anahita? So smug."
