“Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.”

“If reassurances could dull pain, nobody would ever go to the trouble of pressing grapes.”

“On the other hand, even a big, '80s love van was less noticeable than six flying kids and their talking dog.
So there you go.”
