"Naturally. How dare you insult your enemies and let the ambush take your back? This is due to your sexual roots. Which means we have to re-tap the sexual roots from scratch."

"Not at all, I thought it was growing a little..."
"No, he said he's growing a little..."
"Just a little bit. It's all about flashy moves, too. Growth of the plain part is said to be true growth, but this idiot apprentice is just a flashy part..."
