Quotes[]
| “ | Andrew: "Is it over? Any casualties on either side?" Martin: "Huh? How could there be? It's not as if we fought." Andrew: "Both sides." Martin: "Well, yeah. I'm sure there might have been the odd person who tripped or got slightly burned." Andrew: "Then let's get outta here. Let's hurry. The husbands could be home any time now." Martin: "Isn't the whole point of this to attack them as they return?" Andrew: "Come on, that wouldn't be fair, would it? We didn't burn their town to lure them!" |
