Quotes from

Elspeth Honey: Have you got your sandwich?
Theodore Honey: Yes, yes I have.
Elspeth Honey: Tomoto, cheese, and there were some nice fish.


Monica Teasdale: All those people there, makes you wonder which one you would pick out to save if you were God, which one would matter much?

But even I can see it's going to be awfully easy to settle a lot of things by throwing him to the wolves, to say he's crazy and let it go at that. That's why I wanted to meet the people he worked for, to see if they're going to stand behind him, somebody has to.
