Skulduggery: “What a burden it must've been. You're very brave for facing it alone.”
Valkyrie: “Thank you.”
Skulduggery: “Amazingly, astonishingly stupid, but brave.”
Valkyrie: “Yeah.”
Skulduggery: “Very foolish, is what I'm getting at.”
Valkyrie: “I can see that.”
Skulduggery: “Thick, basically. Just thick. Dumb as a bag of hammers. Not too bright there, Valkyrie.”
Valkyrie: “You can really stop complementing me now.”
Skulduggery: “You brainless moron. You simple-minded cretin. You're a half-wit. A dimwit. An imbecile. You're as sharp as a marble. Thick as a ditch. Not the sharpest knife, nor the brightest crayon, and not the brightest bulb. You just fell off the turnip truck. The wheel is turning, but the hamster is dead.”
