Quotes from
Monica Teasdale: No, put it over here. Oh as a matter of fact, let's go back there where we won't wake anybody no matter how much we talk. That way i can say my prayers if I feel like it.

Theodore Honey: Do you have a family, Miss Teasdale?
Monica Teasdale: No, not even a husband at the moment, but there's my agent. oh he'll be so sad, he had five more years at 10%. Then there's Lorene Calvart, oh she'll cry the most.

I tried to tell Miss Teasdale that because I felt I owed her something.
