1->"''Think of them as neighbors, like Godzilla or Rodan. If we don't bother them they'll leave us alone, but if we get in the way or break something they'll get mad at us.

4-><I never hoped to be free again. You freed me. I have done what I have done in my life. I am what I am, though I may have gained at least some wisdom through the years of enslavement to Visser One. Just the same, I will always be Alloran, [[GeneralRipper the Butcher of Hork-Bajir]]. Alloran, the only [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Andalite]] [[FateWorseThanDeath to be taken alive by]] [[PuppeteerParasite the Yeerks]]. But, disgraced, even despised, for whatever I am worth, I am yours to command.>

11->'''Homer''': Bart, I'm not asking you to give blood for free. That would be crazy. You're a little young to understand this, but when you save a rich man's life, he showers you with riches! Don't you know the story of [[SadlyMythtaken Hercules and the Lion]]?\
12'''Bart''': Is it a Bible story? \
13'''Homer''': [[HandWave Yeah, probably]]. Anyway, once upon a time, there was a big, mean lion who got a thorn in his paw, and all the villagers tried to pull it out, but nobody was strong enough. So, they got Hercules, and Hercules used his mighty strength, and bingo! Anyway, the moral is, the lion was so happy, that he gave Hercules this [[BuffySpeak big... thing... of riches]].\
14'''Bart''': [[FridgeLogic How did a lion get rich]]? \
15'''Homer''': [[AWizardDidIt It was the olden days!]] \

24->Lambach does not believe that anyone can do anything to stop [[EldritchAbomination his grandsire]]. In his despair, he accepts his destiny as the Eldest's witness, and he hopes only [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled to slay himself before his grandsire finally devours him]]. Lambach carries a [[KillItWithFire bottle of gasoline and a lighter at all times]]. If the characters show him some kindness and give him a vessel, however, he offers them a boon in return - whatever he can do short of giving his unlife for them. He is still a nobleman and a Tzimisce, with a [[SacredHospitality Tzimisce's regard for hospitality]]. The fact that the characters can still treat a guest with honor moves him more deeply than he can say.
