"I’m..... FINE!"

"You are not fine, you’ve been trying to drink out of the bowl of nuts for the last fifteen minutes!"

"... Maybe I’sh had enough."

"I thought you mage types were supposed to be smart. You had enough an hour ago you moron. You’re juicier than a fiddler at festival time. I bet you can’t even walk."
