Look, I know you're bored, but spending half an hour rubbing two sticks together is a really stupid way to waste time. Now put that aside and come and help us skin this mammoth, we're having steak tartare again tonight.

You know you said you'd give me anything I wanted after my dance? Mum says to ask you for the head of John the Baptist, but I think it sounds quite revolting and I don't want it. If you're feeling generous, I'd really love to have three new outfits, earrings to go with them, three pairs of shoes to match, oh, and an embroidered Persian scarf.... shall I write all this down for you?

Yeah, I know it seemed like a good idea last night, but it's going to look a bit pathetic storming the Bastille if there's only 7 people in it. It's not exactly a major coup, is it?
