“I bet when you hold hands with a girl that cool you wonder if it's possible you're going to levitate like that one of them monks I saw on a TV commercial once, which don't you wish that was real?

“I stole looks. First was her hair, long and loopy and pulled back.

When a lady isn't perfect, she's a lot more perfect, I believe.
- Mack”
