1. Male Vimes are unbearable.
Vetinari was smiling, as usual. And Vimes was furious. As usual. The Watch wouldn't obtain the budget increase he needed for the surveillance of the Shades.
The Commander stood up and tried not to focus on the Patrician's satisfaction. He let his gaze drop below the infuriating face, saw a strange reflection, and...
... And his Grace was still laughing in the corridor, leaning back against the wall, when the Patrician snapped at his first clerk,
"Drumknott!"
"Er, Your Lordship?"
"Next time, tell me before Vimes' arrival that I'm still wearing the badge!"

2. All Vimes.
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience last week, Havelock."
"Don't worry, the palace has efficient laundresses."
"Usually Sammy keeps quiet. I don't understand why he spilt your inkpot. Sometimes, he does crazy things: he's like his father...
Yes, like male Vimes : unbearable.
"No matter, Sybil: it's only a shirt."
"Oh, concerning shirts, you really should take better care of your clothes, you know."
"I beg your pardon?"
"Yes, badges make little holes in the cloth."
"Badges?"
"Sam told me about yours. Sometimes, you really act like a child, Havelock."
Correction: all Vimes are unbearable.
