I wouldn't fancy trying to storm the place.""Don't pretend you'd have the guts to storm the place""I wouldn't fancy telling someone else to storm the place""Don't pretend you'd have the guts to give the orders""I wouldn't fancy watching you tell someone else to storm the place.""No.”
“I don't know what to do, and if I did know what to do I wouldn't tell you, because if I had to tell you today then I'd have to tell you tomorrow, and when I'm gone you'd have to get somebody else to tell you.”

“I have this storm inside me. It's trying to kill me. I wonder sometimes if that's such a bad thing.I know about storms.I'm tired.I just want to sleep forever.Maybe I should tell the storm to go ahead and kill me.”
