They have to learn not to wheel and deal with a Killjoy, zonerat. [Oh yes, Fitz has been upgraded, if slightly, in Party's big book of slang.] You can't just... Just turn us into things. Ain't got no freedom, no fist-pumpin' shouts from God. Can't just flip a switch and bam, boom, pow, BLI\ind. thanks you for your hard work. Nope. I'm not letting any of them touch me again.

At least they didn't know that something was wrong. "Does this mean you're going to swear off tea now? You've probably drank enough to last a lifetime."

There's a bit of Chinese swearing to start her off, then: ]

Maybe in that particular case, yeah. Can't imagine why any man'd bring a gal flowers.
[ That? That's teasing. ]
