"Which you've had to discover during all the ass-kissing that you do." Which wasn't true, she just liked to tease. He was respectful without fawning, which Sophie liked - she never turned down obsequious fawning from fans, but she liked her relationships with the people close to her to be a little more genuine.

"If that's merciless, you need work. I'm nowhere near needing mercy."
