"So in other words," snorted Maxixe, " what you're telling me is that my own father placed a bounty on my head."

"I didn't want to believe it either but it's written here plain as day," replied Sayid while handing Maxixe a crumpled flier, "I didn't want to believe the news until I saw the flier for myself, how could he Winter COurt King embarrass his own flesh and blood like this."
