eh12. “They lack our altruism, sir.”  
eh13. “I think I’m a god. I’m not the God.”  
eh14. “I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!”  
eh15. “Juuust a bit outside.”  
eh16. “Briony read it.”  
eh17. “There are times when I envy you, [name].”  
eh18. “You… fascinate me.”  
eh19. “Perhaps you should practice more.”  
eh20. “That’s not our system.”
