“Like this cake. It’s really very good. (Arik)As the girth to my hips will attest. (Geary)”

“I fell out of the hammock while I was sleeping. (Arik)On your head? (Geary)Apparently. Good thing it’s hard, huh? (Arik)”

“It’s a yes then? (Arik)No. I thought I’d walk through hell to reclaim you and carry your baby just for the heck of it. Who needs marriage. (Geary)I do! (Arik)Good. I can let you live another day. (Geary)”

“Thank you, Geary. (Arik)For what? (Geary)For giving me a life that is the best dream I’ve ever had. (Arik)”

“No. Real love takes time to build. What you feel is just infatuation. (Geary)But it doesn’t feel temporary. (Arik)It never does at its onset. It’s only in hindsight that we realize the difference between infatuation and love. (Geary)”

“Okay, I’m dreaming. Hallucinating. Brought on by stress. I had a hard day today and this is my mind trying to protect itself from…from stuff. Lots of stuff. (Geary)(Arik, Trieg, and ZT stare at Geary.)Oh, like I’m any less sane than the three of you just because I talk to myself. (Geary)”

“But you helped me and Arik. Why would you do that if you really feel that way? (Geary)What can I say? It’s so much more enjoyable to snatch victory from the hands of the gullible. You guys make the most delightful sound of agony when you’re betrayed. (Solin)”
