## Quotes

### Meeting Owliver

* *Blast this pitiful so-called library. Does the hotel really expect erudite guests to be content with beach reads? It pains me that there's no representation of Marcel Prou-hoo-st or J.D. Talonger here.*
	+ (I guess you're bored?)
* *"Immensely. I'd rather read the backs of cereal boxes than this 'library's' drivel."*
* *"What's your favorite book?"*
* *"Must find something interesting to read..."*
* *"I should have brought more anthologies."*

### Owliver wants a new book

* *"Greetings, Kiki!"*
* *"If it isn't my favorite acolyte!"*
* *"I see you're eager for another enriching conversation!"*
* *"There's nothing quite like the smell of a new book!"*
* *"Alas, I simply MUST find new reading material."*
* *"Do let me know if you find an interesting book!"*

When Kiki brings him **Boring Book A**:

* *"Why, how kind! Thank you! I must admit, I've already read 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest'. Interesting narrative, though it didn't have much to do with a cuckoo, or her nest... And don't get me started on 'To Kill a Mockingbird!'"*
	+ (What's it about?) *"A group of men sit around and play cards... I kept waiting for the birds to show up!"*
	+ (Would you recommend it?) *"Just adjust your expectations, there are no birds with significant roles in the novel."*
* *"But it's a classic, I suppose, and the characters seemed interesting... Besides, I'd like to see how it compares to the film version... That 'McMurphy' character did seem rather rakishly debonair..."*
	+ (Read it again!) *"Hmmm... I DO need good material to peruse..."*
	+ (Ugh, sounds lame.) *"Well, it's not that bad... Hmmm..."*
* *"I'll reread it! I might enjoy it much more the second time around. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a preconceived notion to change!"*

### Owliver craves chocolate

* *"I have a bit of a sweet beak. If you see any chocolate, do let me know!"*
* *"The chocolate hankering is particularly strong today!"*
* *"I've heard musings of a particularly exquisite chocolate bar being sold at this Hotel's store."*

When Kiki brings him **Swiss Chocolate**:

* *"Oh MY! That certainly hits the spot. I do believe this is some of the best chocolate I've ever had!"*
	+ (Glad I could help!)
* *"This is absolutely scrumptious, you must try some. Chocolate and books go so well together. You're such a sweet friend... Pun very much intended!"*

### Owliver wants another book

* *"Good news! I've finished the book you brought! Now I yearn for more..."*
* *"Thank you for broadening my horizons!"*
* *"You're better at finding good books here than I am. If you find anything, let me know!"*

When Kiki brings him **Boring Book B**:

* *"Oh my goodness! Thank you so much, Kiki! 'Great Eggspectations!' It's one of my absolute favorites! Even though Darles Chickens can ramble on a bit in some parts... The way the convict took Peep under his wing is incredibly moving."*
	+ (Glad you like it!) *"I love it, and Miss Havisham, the jilted bride who never moved on, is fantastic!"*
	+ (Sounds interesting!) *"I love it, and Miss Havisham, the jilted bride who never moved on, is fantastic!"*
* *"Her insistence to freeze the moment in time where she was left at the altar is fascinating! Though we aren't exactly birds of a feather... I'd certainly like to flock with her..."*
	+ (Super dramatic!) *"It is! And just wait until you read about Peep's romance..."*
	+ (That's intense!) *"It is! Just wait until you read the ending!"*
* *"Speaking of endings... I don't mean to be rude, but... I believe my reading glasses and I have a date with Miss Havisham and Peep!"*

### Owliver needs more chocolate

* *"Nothing like a good book to provoke a chocolate craving!"*
* *"If only there were chocolate..."*
* *"What better to go with 'Great Eggspectations' than chocolate eggs?"*

When Kiki brings him **Swiss Chocolate**:

* *"What a thoughtful companion! Thank you, Kiki! I'm just at the part in 'Great Eggspectations' where..."*
	+ (Whoa, spoiler alert!)
* *"Oh! You're absolutely right. Not a peep from me! Not even about when Peep discovers that... Dear me, there I go again!"*

### Owliver wants yet another book

* *"Getting close to the end... What should I read next?"*
* *"'Great Eggspectations' always lives up to its title! What should I read next?"*
* *"Oh, Kiki, please let me know if you find anything else I can else read around here."*

When Kiki brings him **Boring Book C**:

* *"What a marvelous find! This is my favorite translation of the Owliad! The translator stayed faithful to the text and kept the dactylic hexameter! 'No bird or fish born, coward or brave, can shun their destiny.' Such poetry! Thank you, I've been meaning to read this again, you've made me happy as a lark!"*
	+ (I'll check it out!) *"You should! It's one of the oldest works of literature we have!"*
	+ (Sounds super old!) *"It is! It's one of the oldest works of literature we have!"*
* *"We must treasure the classics... But sometimes I feel a bit... experimental. Maybe I should try something new at some point."*
	+ (Go for it!) *"Thank you for your encouragement!"*
	+ (But you like classics!) *"Even the classics were new in their time..."*
* *"Thank you again for presenting me with my very own copy of 'The Owliad!' I'm itching to get started... You know by now that good books are my Achille's talon!"*

### Owliver wants more chocolate

* *"'Beware of Greeks bearing gifts...' But what about chocolate?"*
* *"The only thing that could make this better would be chocolate!"*
* *"Reading about battles and sieges is giving me a chocolate craving!"*

When Kiki brings him **Swiss Chocolate**:

* *"It's rare to find thoughtful souls like you in places like these. Thank you, Kiki! I'm always appreciative of a mid-stanza snack."*
	+ (Don't mention it!)
* *"I've given our last talk some thought... I think I'm... quite ready for something new! If you find anything, do tell me, won't you?"*
* *"...Contrary to popular belief, not all of us are 'night owls'."*
* *"I bid you goodnight!"*
* *"I'll dream of all the stories and chocolate you got me!"*

### Owliver is ready to read manga

* *"Say... there are books from Japan in picture format..."*
* *"Have you heard of manga?"*
* *"Manga sounds... quite new!"*

When Kiki brings him a **Manga**:

* *"Oh MY! What ARE they doing? Their bond must be as strong as that of Nineteen Eighty-Fowl's Winston and Julia! At least strong enough for doing... that. I wonder if this work will be considered a classic someday?"*
	+ (Um, it's hen-tai.) *"Some classics like Hoolyses certainly ruffled some feathers in their day!"*
	+ (I guess it could?) *"Some classics like Hoolyses certainly ruffled some feathers in their day!"*
* *"Now that book is required reading at the most prestigious universities! Though this example of hen-tai isn't exactly on the same literary level as Hoolyses... This has been an educational and... stimulating experience!"*
	+ (I think so too!) *"Who knew books with pictures could be so interesting!"*
	+ (Ew, gross.) *"At least I've tried something new, thanks to you!"*
* *"Thank you for helping me in my literary journey! I'm looking forward to reading even more manga! And... maybe even try some more hen-tai!"*
* *"OMG, you know this?!"* (I've been waiting for this chapter for ages!)
* (Full Feathered Alchemist is my favorite!) *"The artwork in it is gorgeous!"*
* (This one's kinda funky!) *"Don't spoil it for me!"*
