“She wanted to bottle how safe she felt in this moment, so she could drink of it later when loneliness and fear left her parched.”

“If I allowed 'next $label' then I'd also have to allow 'goto $label', and I don't think you really want that…”

“I want a beer. I want a giant, ice-cold bottle of beer and shower sex.”
