“Why did you hit him? (Grace)
Because it gave me a great deal of pleasure. (Julian)
Nice. You haven’t seen me in what, two thousand years? So, instead of a friendly, brotherly hug, I get slugged. (Eros)”

“You would make a great teacher. (Grace)
Commander to teacher. Why not call me Cato the Elder, and really insult me while you’re at it? (Julian)”

“Don’t cry for me, Grace. I’m not worth it. (Julian)
Yes you are! (Grace)
You are my saving Grace. Without you, I would never have known love. And I would never have known me again. (Julian)”

“Grace- "You are naked."……"You arenaked"

“Charley Somers, who owned the Indians, was the most generous club owner I have ever seen… The first year I came up to Cleveland, in 1910, I led the league unofficially in hitting. When I went to talk contract with him for 1911, I told him I wanted $10,000. He wasn't figuring on giving me more than $6,000, and he wouldn't listen to me.
"I'll make a deal with you," I told him. "If I hit.400 you give me $10,000. If I don't, you don't give me a cent."
It was a deal, I signed the contract, and I hit.408. But I still didn't win the American League batting title. That was the year Ty Cobb hit.420. I was hitting.420 about three weeks before the season was over and Mr. Somers called me in to pay off, told me I could sit it out the rest of the season. I told him to wait until the season was ended and I wasn't quitting. I wrote my own contract the rest of the time I was in Cleveland.”
