Bad guy Quote by Jasper Fforde
““What do I do?" Asked the princess. "You keep your head down." She looked at me petulantly. "Like hell I will. If we're going to die, I'm going down fighting, even if I'm terrible with a weapon." "Fair enough," I said, handing her a cutlass. She swished it around. "Pointy end toward the bad guy, right?" "Right.””
