Eiffel tower Quote by Michael Scott

“Well, when you lit up the Eiffel Tower, you said something that sounded like eggness.” “Ignis,” the count said. “Latin for fire. No, you don’t need to say anything.” “Why did you do it, then?” Saint-Germain grinned. “I just thought it sounded cool.” quote by Michael Scott
