I'm the dude, so that's what you call me. That or, uh His Dudeness, or uh Duder, or El Duderino, if you're not into the whole brevity thing. Ready to set the world on fire... Holy Metronome Black as midnight on a moonless night. On the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons. It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him. It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities. It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live. Strong is Vader. Mind what you have learned. Save you it can.

Stand tall, boy. Have some respect for yourself. Don't you know, if you let people walk over you now, they'll be walking over you for the rest of your life. Look at me. You think I'm gonna spend the rest of my life in this slop house?

• Hmm. In the end, cowards are those who follow the dark side.
• What delicious abandon in the sleep of the child. Where do we lose it?
