“You - best secret boyfriend ever.”

“No choice is best”

“I've got a huge, terrible problem."Oh no! Not that horrible toenail fungus that takes six months to cure?"No, no, no. Much worse. This is shocking news. Are you sure I should tell you while you're driving?"I've got my headset on. Both hands on the wheel. Windows rolled up. Go for it."Okay, here goes...Principal Abernethy called me this morning to let me know I'm in the running for valedictorian."There is silence.A rather loudish snort.And guffaws.Congratulations," she finally says, laughing. "What ever are you going to do?"Fail ever assignment from today onward."You won't be able to."Watch me.”

“Janie: Did you ever sell drugs?Cabel: Yes. Pot. Ninth and tenth grade. I was, uh...rather troubled back then.Janie: Why did you stop?Cabel: Got busted, and Captain made me a better deal. Janie: So you've been a narc since then? Cabel: I cringe at your terminology.”

“She gets to school late. Bashful gives her a tardy, and won't reconsider.Janie always hated Bashful.Stupidest. Dwarf. Ever.”

“There's just no happily ever after in Janie's book.But they both know there is something. Something good between them.There is respect.And there is depth.Unslefishness.An understanding between them that surpasses a hell of a lot else.And there's that love thing.”
