Steve Patton
“What does God know then...Chee..ma?" The tall doctor thought he had finally found his mark.

Still looking down, Chima set the glass aside and wiped his hands on a neat white apron that hung around his waist. He spoke with clarity as he placed both hands on the bar's edge - "God knows you aren't coming back from this safari alive.”
Steve Patton, The Sun Also Sets

Gillian Flynn
“We named the bar The Bar. "People will think we're ironic instead of creatively bankrupt," my sister reasoned.
Yes, we thought we were being clever New Yorkers - that the name was a joke no one else would really get, like we did. Not meta-get ... But our first customer, a gray-haired woman in bifocals and a pink jogging suit, said, "I like the name. Like in Breakfast at Tiffany's and Audrey Hepburn's cat was named Cat.”
Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl
