“We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time.”
“I've never lost a game. I just ran out of time.”

“Maybe it would be better if we didn't love. If we didn't lose, either. If we didn't get out hearts stomped on, shattered; if we didn't have to patch and repatch it until we're like Frankenstein monsters, all sewn together by who knows what”
“We ran, plowing through another pile of peppers. [No, I didn't pick a peck of them, Sadie - just shut up.]”
