Let me remind you of one thing out of goodwill: you'll never reach the heights I've achieved. You don't even qualify to be my rival."
• "To me, Caspian is merely an option. To you, he's your entire world. After all, the Starling Family isn't what it used to be. Without Caspian, what would you have left?"
