Quotes by Tod Goldberg (?)

“The room fell silent. I frankly didn't know what I was going to do to help Eduardo, but I had the sense that he was right- no one else could help him, and without help, all that he'd done would crumble.

Plus, I like being called his only hope. I felt like Obi-Wan Kenobi.”
― Tod Goldberg, The Reformed

“Sam took another sip of the pruno. It went down smoother this time, possibly because he no longer had feeling in his extremities.”

“What's your name, son?' Sam said. The man looked to be about Sam's age, but Sam always thought calling people 'son' immediately gave the air of imperial authority and opened the door for spanking if need be.”
