"Maybe if you used English commands instead of German, he'd keep his nose outa my..."
"You should get a cat ma. Something to keep you company. You're always alone."
"I don't want a cat. I have my beta fish. He respects my space."

"We missed you yesterday at Thanksgiving dinner."
"I told you I didn't feel like sitting through another one of those fiascos. I hate Johns family."

"I love this place...."
"Well I want more. I don't want to end up like this!"
