Quotes edit
-
“"That´s great. I´d - I´d really like to stay here." He glanced around the ancient staircase. "It looks interesting. Like something out of an old book.""Yeah, interesting. Hope you like dust. But listen, we´ve got a feral killer vampire living in the basement, so don´t go there. Oh, and if you drink all the milk, you have to replace it."”
Jon / Betsy -
“"As for you. You don't even have to pick the flowers you like, okay? Just pick the ones you absolutely loathe, can't stand the sight of, and I'll be sure those aren't anywhere near you on the big day." "Darling," he said, turning the page, "I just don't have intensely strong feelings for flowers." "But you were raised on a farm! You must have some preferences." "Darling, I have a penis. Ergo I have no preferences."”
Elizabeth Betsy Taylor and Eric Sinclair -
“"Red, please," George the Fiend said. Pandemonium. Chaos. And no matter what we tempted him with, how much we cajoled, how often Sinclair ordered, or how often I begged, he didn't say another word.”
George and Betsy -
“I shut my—our—bedroom door behind me and saw Sinclair in a miserable huddle in the middle of the bed. "It's here now, isn't it?" he asked. "I can feel it. Draining the strength from me." / "Oh, jeez, you're such a baby! It's just a Christmas tree. It's not a nuclear device."”
