“Ritie, don't worry 'cause you ain't pretty. Plenty pretty women I seen digging ditches or worse. You smart. I swear to God, I rather you have a good mind than a cute behind.”
“I just don't like that you can either be ugly and smart or pretty and dumb, or ugly and nice or pretty and mean.”
“Well, darling, don't your worry your pretty little head. I've got a type, and you ain't it.”
“Now I seen Mauna Kena from Honokaa b'fore, o'course, but a mountain you're planning on climbin' ain't the same as the one you ain't. It ain't so pretty, nay.”

“If you dig one ditch you better dig two cause the trap you set just may be for you”
