“We're professionals. People make deals, they need to stick to them. That's the way it works, if it's going to work at all.”

“we all need reassurance and encouragement. We're human, and that's how we work”

“If you’re looking for the full deal, the till-death deal, then look at me. No one’s ever going to love you, stick by you, understand how you work the way I do.(Malcolm Kavanaugh)”

“People make changes in their life, and they blend and assimilate. They find a way to make it work. That's where I've always taken the wrong turn. By not taking a turn at all.”

“The anateur works until they get something right. The professional works until they can't go wrong.”

“It isn't the smallness of this place that bothers me. It's the grey that's worked its way into the walls. It's the stains on the carpet from some other life that came and left before ours. Bert always said he'd give me a good deal on paint but some places take burning down and rebuilding to make them shiny."-Ed, page 10”
