So it was a life-and-death choice, everybody knew it to be that. Wasn't just some casual matter of saving a few hours, it might save your life.”

“A little bit goes a long way — it's true. And I sure am glad I went such a long, long way to find that out for myself.”

“The best relationships were the ones where both sides went out of their way to make sure the other wasn't disappointed.”

“And sometime around 2 AM you end up taking advantage of yourself. Ain't no way around that. Making a scene with a magazine.”
