Hilda: Having a meal with everyone really gets me fired up!
Claude: I don't know, eating just makes me sleepy. Is it nap time yet?
Hilda: Claude, why don't you follow our friend's example and treat everyone to a meal sometime? It'll help morale.
Claude: My job is to win battles and kick off victory feasts, not labor over a hot stove.
Lorenz
Lorenz: Cuisine is the window into a chef's soul. This is an excellent opportunity for me to get to know you better.
Claude: Lorenz, maybe try less talking and more eating. Our friend went to the trouble of making this, so we can't let it go to waste.
Claude: You should try making a meal for everyone, Lorenz. Think of your popularity!
Lorenz: Such meager bids for fame hold no allure. I only cook when I truly wish to reward those beneath me.
Holst
Claude: Doesn't a meal made by a friend always taste better?
Holst: Agreed. Maybe I'll treat you to something myself next time. I'm quite the skilled cook, if I may say.
