"I wanted to... heroically... kick things..." says Bella. "In uniform? What exactly do people who want to be soccer stars dream about?"

"That, I guess. Maybe heroically kicking things in uniform on national television?"

"Man, that sounds incredibly boring. Maybe they run on adrenaline from sports injuries."

Darren snorts with laughter. "Maybe. Don't tell Savannah you said that, though, she's been thinking about playing tennis."

"And doesn't want to complicate her forthcoming tennis elbow?"

"No, she'd start trying to educate you as to why sports are fun."

"...She's seen me try to walk."

"And so she would use me as her demonstration, to play with. Bella, don't do that to me."

"Oh, okay. We can't have that." Kneepats.

"Thank you. It would be annoying. Rejoice that you can get out of the horror of playing sports with my sister."

"I am immune by virtue of incompetence, yay."

"It's a victory. Take them where you can get them."

"I do, I assure you. I sometimes wonder if I'd like some form of moving around if I weren't so terrible at it - and I guess now I know, at least insofar as liking flying is suggestive."

"That's because flying is amazing."

"It's so great. Even if the circumstances I wound up practicing under were scary as hell."

"Yeah, let's never have a repeat of those. Just the flying."

"I will do my best to stop attracting lava monsters, cross my heart."

"Good, you need to turn off your lava monster magnet, it works at the worst times."

"I was hoping to summon a lava monster to somewhere a lava monster would be useful," says Bella plaintively. "But I couldn't think of any uses for a lava monster, and it would have been such a waste to let the opportunity expire."

"Bella! Come on now, geothermal energy. That one's so easy, I'm so disappointed in you."

"Oh, how foolish of me, yes, I should have sold it to the electric company."

"Yes, you should have, we would be millionaires by now."

"Who said I'd share my lava-monster proceeds?"

"I would make a sad face at you if you didn't."

"Hmmm, I don't yet know how good I am at resisting your sad faces."
