"Oh, all true. Most of them. A bit of exaggeration, but mostly true."
"The one about the Citadel in Muntab and the Pash and the fish bone?"
"Oh, yes."

"Oh, always a last resort. History needs shepherds, not butchers."
"Do you know ?"
"Just a lot of bunny-hops."

"
?"
"A waste of good bricks."
"
?"
"You made that one up."
