been catching up on the children’s’ adventure of worlds beyond number and got extremely emotional to realise that aabria and lou still say “come on provolone” to psych themselves up
The showers in the Watch house were the talk of the city. Vimes had paid for them himself, after Vetinari made an acidic comment about the cost. They were a bit primitive and were really no more than watering-can heads connected to a couple of water tanks on the next floor, but after a night in Ankh-Morpork’s underworld, the thought of being really clean was very attractive. (Thud!, Terry Pratchett)
tbqh im imagining vimes and vetinari being full on horrible old married couple about this. vetinari being like a stereotypical old housewife going over the budget with a fine toothed comb, like, do you think we’re made of money, vimes? that it grows on trees?do money trees grow on scoone avenue, vimes? because ive never seen any down here at the palace, vimes
vimes passive aggressively going FINE THEN I’LL PAY FOR IT MYSELF. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT ME TO PAY FOR ALL BY MYSELF? armor, coffee, wages?? anything else? hey, here, sir, here’s a nickel, that should cover your food budget for the month
witnesses left with the feeling someone is going to be sleeping on the couch tonight
