"Who do you think our champion will be today? Have you seen Mace Tyrell's boy? The Knight of Flowers, they call him. Now there's a son any man would be proud to own to.

And how the drudgery of a job you hate craps on your entire life; how you treat other people, how you treat yourself, and it really was getting to me."
