“Relax, Skeeve! This'll be easy, Skeeve! Trust me, Skeeve!' Boy Aahz, when you miss a call you don't do it small, do you?""Shut up, kid!”

“Well, kid," Aahz said, sweeping me with an appraising stare, "it looks like we're stuck with each other. The setup isn't ideal, but it's what we've got. Time to bite the bullet and play with the cards we're dealt. You do know what cards are, don't you?""Of course," I said, slightly wounded."Good.""What's a bullet?”

“Please ta meetcha, kid. I'm Aahz.""Oz?""No Relation.""No relation to what?" I asked, but he was examining the room again.”

“Run through those time measurements again," Aahz grumbled."In seconds, minutes, hours....""Minutes! We've got a few minutes.”

“Relax, Stranger. Things are not as they seem.”

“Don't pick up hitchhikers!"- D. Adams”

“C'mon kid. Think a minute, even if it hurts.”
