--Keep track of your henchmen.

--You are too old for this shit.

--Lead with the carrot.

Cook

--What you toss in the trash may come back to bite you in the ass.

Deimos

--Doing things for someone won't always make them like you.

Deimos and Praxis

--Just because someone did something nice for you once doesn’t mean they want to be friends.

Notes:

This is not meant to be a comprehensive list--feel free to add your own in the comments.

I left out Ludmila because I'm pretty sure she already knows everything. :)

Title changed after the fact because Kapla brought it to my attention that it had the same name as a SF fic that scarred us. Now it's referencing a Goodyear fic instead, phew. :)
