"This is certainly a very... /original/ cart," said Rincewind.
"Got a few modifications of my own," said Mad. He grinned evilly. "You a
wizard, mister?"
"Broadly speaking, yes."
"Any good?" Mad was loading another crossbow.
Rincewind hesitated. "No," he said.
"Lucky for you," said Mad. "I'd have killed you if you were. Can't stand
wizards. Bunch of wowsers, right?"
He grasped the handles of the bent stovepipe and swiveled it around.
"Here they come," he muttered.
Rincewind peered over the top of Mad's head. There was a piece of mirror
in the bend of the pipe. It showed the road behind, and half a dozen dots
under another cloud of red dust.
"Road gang," said Mad. "After my cargo. Steal anything, they will. All
bastards are bastards, but some bastards is /bastards/." [...]

"And, while it is good to see you, Stibbins, albeit rather more of you
than I would usually care to contemplate, I am moved to ask why you are,
in fact, here."
"I suddenly felt it would be unfair to deprive the University of my
services, sir."
"Really? A sudden rush of nostalgia for the old alma mater, eh?"
"You could say that, sir."
Ridcully's eyes twinkled behind the smoke and, not for the first time,
Ponder suspected that the man was sometimes rather cleverer than he
appeared. It would not be hard.

At moments like this cowardice was an exact science. There were times
that called for mindless, terror-filled panic, and times that called for
measured, considered, /thoughtful/ panic. Right now he was in a place of
safety. It was, admittedly, the death cell, but the point was that it
was perhaps the one place in this country where nothing bad was going to
happen for a little while. The Ecksians didn't look like the kind of
people who went in for torture, although it was always possible that they
might make him eat some more of their food. So, for the moment, he had
/time/. Time to plan ahead, to consider his next move, to apply his
intellect to the problem at hand.
He stared at the wall for a moment, then stood up and gripped the bars.
Right. That seemed to be about long enough. Now to run like hell.

"[...] Some chief went to prison to see the prime minister and said,
'Mate, your mob can dig it all up and drop it over the edge of the world,
no worries.'"
"Why did he have to go to prison?"
"We put all our politicians in prison as soon as they're elected. Don't
you?"
"Why?"
"It saves time. [...]"
