--> '''Mech:''' Are you children aware that The Inscrutable Machine is violating an official superhero-supervillain truce?
--> '''Bad Penny:''' That's the problem isn't it? You don't consider us supervillains, you consider us children. If the situation were reversed, would we have been protected by a truce?

** At the start of ''Literature/GoingPostal'', Moist von Lipwig is trying to [[CutleryEscapeAid remove a brick from the prison wall with a spoon]]. When he finally succeeds in doing so, he finds a new spoon, in front of a much more firmly mortared brick. The guards, who turn out to have been watching the whole thing, say it's important to give prisoners the greatest of all gifts, which is hope. While Moist doesn't say it out loud, his internal monologue repeats the phrase when he considers the cryptographic fun the guards are going to have with his complicated, and entirely fake, TreasureMap.
