“You know how gossip is. It's the toxic waste of small town”
“...No small amount of schadenfreude. Do you know what that means?""Dad, it's the lifeline of gossip. Of course I know what it means.”
“He had to accept the fate of every newcomer to a small town where there are plenty of tongues that gossip and few minds that think.”
“Have you been playing in toxic waste lately? ”
“I'm a toxic waste byproduct of God's creation.”
“So live that you wouldn't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip.”
