"Why oh why has such a genius to be such a jerk!" (All of Europe: starts coughing.)

Haha, I have my own matching anecdote! Fritz once told Catt that he had reprimanded Voltaire for quarreling, and that Voltaire had countered with "We're exactly alike, Sire."

Fritz: Can you BELIEVE it? About ME?!

[How I like to imagine Catt reacting: Sorry, Sire, it's just this cold I'm catching. You might hear me coughing a lot tonight. Don't take it personally.]
