“Listen, I will now tell you the truth and there is no other.”
“It occurs to me now that it isn't that I was always certain there was no truth to the rumor; it was that I didn't want to acknowledge the possibility there could be any truth to it.”
“If what we are doing isn't enough for you, I need you to tell me now.”
“The truth isn't always nice. It isn't always small enough to absorb at once. Sometimes the truth washes over you and threatens to take you right down with it.”
“She's stupid, isn't she, Emily?”
