"Look at me!â€™ I screeched. â€˜Look at me, Amadeus von Linden, you sadistic hypocrite, and watch this time! Youâ€™re not questioning me now, this isnâ€™t your work, Iâ€™m not an enemy agent spewing wireless code! Iâ€™m just a minging Scots slag screaming insults at your daughter! So enjoy yourself and watch! Think of Isolde! Think of Isolde and watch!"
