“Smee, you are a supreme idjit."
"Aye, Cap'n.”
― Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson

“Most girls take one look at you and swoon. You've never had to really work for someone's affection or put effort into maintaining it. In many ways, your natural gifts have done you a disservice-- they've stunted your sensitivity and charm! You've never had to develop insight into what will make a girl laugh and come to love you for reasons that aren't handsome or heroic. That's why smees are experts on the subtle arts of courtship and seduction; nothing comes easy to us, but we do understand and live by the Lover's Maxim."

"And what on earth is the Lover's Maxim?" asked Maz, feeling very uninformed.

The smee cleared his throat. "If you can't be handsome, be rich. If you can't be rich, be strong. If you cant be strong, be witty."

"But what if you can't be witty?" Max wondered.

"Learn the guitar.”
