“Percy: "Hey, why do pegasi gallop as they fly, anyway?"Blackjack: "Why do humans swing their arms as they walk? I dunno, boss. It just feels right.”

“Why do you need to gallop while you fly?""Why do humans have to sway their arms while they walk? I dunno boss, but it just feels right.”

“Then something occurred to me."Get closer," I told Blackjack.He whinnied in protest."Just within shouting distance," I said. "I need to talk to the statue."Now I'm sure you've lost it, boss, Blackjack said”

“Get closer," I told Blackjack. "I need to talk to the statue."Now I'm sure you've lost it, boss, he muttered, but he flew as close as he could, dodging the flying statue.”

“Good luck, boss. Don't let'em turn you into horse meat! (Blackjack)”
