Line 66:
'''Detritus:''' You know, if it's gonna be a problem, I don't mind-
'''Vimes:''' Shut up, Detritus. You are a free citizen of Anhk-Morpork. That is an order. }}
*** There's nothing hypocritical about that. Detritus is a free citizen, but he's also a member of the City Watch. Vimes ordering him to shut up has nothing to do with Detritus' species or citizenship status, and everything to do with the fact that Vimes is Detritus' commanding officer. Furthermore, Detritus was not drafted; he used his free citizen status to choose to enlist in the first place.
** Archchancellor Riddicully has a similar view to his people.
