“Have you ever heard of tit tape, Sarah?”

“Dammit, that yodel of triumph of yours was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard in my life. I wish I had a tape recorder to take it down."Those things aren't made to be heard by the people down below," says Japhy, dead serious.”

“The radio tape puts you right back in the original time and place when you first heard the songs. You arethere, my friend.”

“Neither of us ever threw anything away. We madea lot of mix tapes while we were together. Tapes for making out, tapes for dancing, tapes for falling asleep. Tapes for doing the dishes, for walkingthe dog. I kept them all. I have them piled up on my bookshelves, spilling out of my kitchen cabinets, scattered all over the bedroom floor. I don’teven have pots or pans in my kitchen, just that old boom-box on the counter, next to the sink. So many tapes.”

“Nothing is ever lost, Sarah. Nothing that can't be found.”

“Have you ever heard a blindfolded octopus unwrap a cellophane-covered bathtub?”
