Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or owners:

    Dearest dealer,
    I with my royal straight flush,
    love you so for your wild card,
    that untamable, eternal, gut-driven, ha-ha
    and lucky love.

    Slaves who have escaped to you from their owners shall not be given back to them.
