Nanny Ogg: "How come you're in the palace guard, Casanunda?"
Casanunda: "Soldier of fortune takes whatever jobs are going, Mrs. Ogg."
Nanny Ogg: "But all the rest of 'em are six foot tall and you're-- of the shorter persuasion."
Casanunda: "I lied about my height, Mrs. Ogg. I'm a world-famous liar."
Nanny Ogg: "Is that true?"
Casanunda: "No."
