Otto: To escape his sad background and get revenge

Farnoth: Dissatisfied with his master—same one
as Otto—and impatient to learn more.
Odinson: “I went to the local tavern after losing
my girlfriend. I got drunk as a buzzard. And, not so unusual,
I had a hangover. I decided I had to get a job. I saw a poster
that I thought said ‘Marketing and Trade.’ But
it said, ‘Pit Fighting, Sign Now.’ (I couldn’t
read it properly because I’d had too much liquor.) I
signed up for pit fighting, and here I am. Now I have a deathmatch
in the morning.”

When I was born, I was very young. We ate meat. And when there

we ate sand.”
