“Papá coge la hoja de papel del suelo, la que dice «MMDD». Me pregunta qué quiere decir.
-Adivina -le respondo yo.
-¿Mi madre danza disco?
-Te doy otra oportunidad -contesto.
-Misma mierda, distinto día -dice él.
Me quedo boquiabierto. Él sonríe, me da el papel y se larga.”
Stephen Wallenfels, Pod

“Ahí lo tienen, señoras y señores. Yo veo a Bambi. Él ve filetes de ciervo friéndose en una sartén”
Stephen Wallenfels, Pod

“Esto empieza a parecerse a una película de miedo, cuando le quieres gritar al tío de la pantalla:
-¡Sal de esa casa, imbécil! -Solo que en este caso el imbécil soy yo y salir de la casa no es una opción.”
