## The Pilot Issue

*"Listen here, ya saccharine bitch, I don’t give a flying fuck who ‘the one working’ is. Ya’d better pay your goddamn rent, or we’re gonna have some problems."*

-Clarke, to Dawn

*"You listen here, ya hearts-and-flowers fucker, and you listen good. I’m gonna give you three days to pay back what you owe me, and if you don’t, you’ll be outta here on your candy ass, got it?"*

-Clarke, threatening Dawn

*"You’re a busy woman, what with all this kiddie bullshit you’re pushing onto the city."*
