#  I do not know which is more annoying, the real Goodfellow…

![“I do not know which is more annoying, the real Goodfellow or the reflection.&quot; &quot;Well, considering they are one and the same,&quot; said a second, identical Grimalkin, materializing next to the first, &quot;we should be thankful that they will be only one left when this is all over.&quot; &quot;Agreed. Two Goodfellows…” quote by Julie Kagawa](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c5c/julie-kagawa-241_doppelgangers_i-do-not-know-which-is-more-annoying-the_1720080.jpg)   [Download](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c5c/julie-kagawa-241_doppelgangers_i-do-not-know-which-is-more-annoying-the_1720080.jpg) [Open image](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c5c/julie-kagawa-241_doppelgangers_i-do-not-know-which-is-more-annoying-the_1720080.jpg)

> ““I do not know which is more annoying, the real Goodfellow or the reflection." "Well, considering they are one and the same," said a second, identical Grimalkin, materializing next to the first, "we should be thankful that they will be only one left when this is all over." "Agreed. Two Goodfellows would be more than anyone in this world could take." "I shudder to think of the implications." "You are so not helping, Grimalkin!" the real Puck called, ducking beneath a savage head strike. "And we're not here to have tea with our evil doppelgangers! Shouldn't you two be trying to kill each other?" The Grimalkins sniffed. "Please," they said at the same time.””
