“יועד לוגם מהכוס ומעווה את פניו. ״חרא קפה.״
״בפעם הבאה תלך לקפה מול הספרייה,״ היא מציעה לו טיפ של מקומיים. רק לפני שנה פתחו אותו, וכל הקמפוס מדבר עליו: כמו בניו יורק, כמו בסן פרנסיסקו, בסיאטל: קלייה עצמית, מיקרו־זנים. היא עצמה ניסתה כמה פעמים והתביישה לומר שהקפה היה לה מר וחמוץ.
הוא זורק את הכוס לפח זבל שעומד בקצה המסדרון. ״לשם הלכתי.״”
― Maya Arad, המורה לעברית

“״ילד לא צריך בכלל מסיבה גדולה עד גיל ארבע,״ פוסקת רוית.
״מה, בארץ עושים רק עם הסבתות, הדודים...״
״אבל זו הבעיה, אין פה סבתות,״ היא מחווה את דעתה.
״איי,״ מלכה מסכימה, ״זאת בדיוק הבעיה. אין פה סבתות.״”
