“As much as I try not to, I can’t help but stare.  It’s kind of like stumbling across a bizarre Teen Vogue shoot, only there’s clearly something more to this cast. Everything about them is captivating, but it’s not just their looks.  It’s the way they move; they way they act; even they way they –“Paigelyn?”Crap.”

“There’s one thing about getting somebody to help you though…you got to take whatever it looks like - their kind of help. And you can’t be choosin what you like and don’t like.
