Garrick Who pissed in your soup this morning? Sloane Gods, I'm so sorry. I've been rather irritable since spending so much time in a bandit cage. Garrick Yeah, I can imagine. Peasant, though? Gotta say, that stings a bit. Sloane Only true things are hurtful, Garrick. Like it or not, you're a peasant. Garrick I don't think it's been acceptable to call someone a peasant since maybe IY 900. Sloane Mmm, perhaps you should call the constable then? Better yet, show me how wrong I've been yourself. Garrick You think you can get to me that easily? A gentleman would never berate a woman like that. Sloane Come now, you're no gentleman. Garrick Alright, you've got me there. Sloane You really are making this too easy. Truthfully, I had expected more wit from you. Garrick Making what too easy? You bumped into me and yelled at me. How do you want me to react? Sloane You can't possibly imagine I'm so dull as to act as I have. Garrick Right right, let me check my book of correct behavior really quickly to find the section that dictates proper formatting of verbal abuse. Sloane Thank the gods that book doesn't exist. I think we'd both be strung up sooner rather than later for breaking form. Garrick I can think of worse places to be. Sloane I appreciate the attempt, but I dare you to actually name a single place you would less rather be than about to face certain death. Garrick Already having faced certain death? I don't know, I don't sit around thinking morbid thoughts all day. Sloane No, I don't suppose you do.
