Kaz: I've already edited it for you and sent it to your house which is AWAY FROM ME.

Or

Wylan: Do you think I'm stupid?

Kaz: I don't employ stupid people. Nor do I waste my time talking to them for very long. That being said, you’ve asked a very stupid question.

Or

Wylan: Do you think Jesper is out of my league? Would he better with Kuwei?

Kaz: wtf do I look like to you? I have things to do, Wylan. I have money to make and you come in here asking stupid ass questions like you’re not the one out of Jesper’s league-

“Please, my darling Inej, treasure of my heart, won’t you do me the honour of acquiring me a new hat?”
