If you're in trouble, he will save the day,
He's brave and he's fearless, come what may;
Without him, the mission would go astray!
He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer!
Without him, life would be much grimmer;
He's handsome, trim, and no one's slimmer,
He will never need a Zimmer!
He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer!
More reliable than a garden's trimmer!
He's never been mistaken for Yul Brynner,
He's not bald and his head doesn't glimmer!
Master of the wit, and the repartee
His command of space directives is un-cann-y,
How come he's such a genius? Don't ask me!
Ask Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer!
He's also a fantastic swimmer;
And if you play your cards right,
He just might come 'round, for din-ner!

Bartrand: [after Varric kills three soldiers to reveal him cowering behind them] Oh Varric! Please forgive me, my brother! I was just jealous of you! How could I ever compete with you for Mother's love? [his voice changes to Varric's and the camera pans up to reveal the dwarf recounting his brother's "words"] You're strong and handsome and so very smart!
Varric: What?
Cassandra: Why lie about this now? What have you to gain?
Varric: What do you want from me? I broke in, found my brother and it was awkward! Family business!

You'll remember how good it tasted
Inside the ruling classes...

Ruby: I did! Thank-you-very-much!
Yang: [scoffs] No wonder. Red Riding Hood's a total Mary Sue character!
Ruby: [gasps] WHAT?!
