Loyalty

W. admires loyalty wherever he finds it. Take the animal kingdom, for example. Swans!, says W. They mate for life! – 'You're the opposite of a swan', W. says. 'Friendship means nothing to you'. And then, 'You're always about to betray me', he says. 'You're thinking about it now, aren't you?' And then, 'You're a betrayer. You'd break the phalanx'. What phalanx? – 'The phalanx of our friendship!'
