Shoot straight with me here, Fun Size. All of this — you did it in, what, minutes? And for what, huh? No, no, I get it. Trust me, you think you've got what it takes. You think to yourself, hey, I can do this. You're a positive gal. Got a good head on your shoulders. I like that. It's cute — all those schmucks back home, churning out motivational posters with try-hard cats? They adore that kinda thing.

But me? Seriously? What, Tin Man's not working out for you so you thought you'd try your hand at the real Wizard? Don't get me wrong, I'm flattered. Really. Look at me. But honey, let's get one thing straight: I'm not anybody's puppet. You dig? There ain't no strings on me.

So, before you really give it all you got, maybe you oughta figure out who's really running this show. Because I can guarantee, in the end, chances are it isn't gonna be you.

We clear? [ ... ] You're a good kid. Keep it up. Stay in school.

You know, sometimes when you think life has saddled you with someone intolerable, you can take a look around and realize it could be so much worse.

Wow, that's deep. That's great. So, what, are you like their Yoda?

I'm a bit too attached to normal English syntax, sad to say. And I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be as good with a lightsabre.
