“Grown-ups like numbers. When you tell them about a new friend, they never ask questions about what really matters. They never ask: ‘What does his voice sound like?’ ‘What games does he like best?’ ‘Does he collect butterflies?’ They ask: ‘How old is he?’ ‘How many brothers does he have?’ ‘How much does he weigh?’ ‘How much money does he have?’ Only then do they think they know him. If you tell grown-ups, ‘I saw a beautiful red brick house, with geraniums at the windows and doves at the roof…,’ they won’t be able to imagine such a house. You have to tell them, ‘I saw a house worth a thousand francs.’ Then they exclaim, ‘What a pretty house!”

“Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.”

“One martini is all right. Two are too many, and three are not enough.”

“ANNOYED THAT THE “Love ya” I would have normally received at the end of a call with Garrett had been downgraded to a “See ya,” I slapped my phone flat on the couch and yelled “What a jerk!” at the ceiling.”
― T. Marie Vandelly, Theme Music
