Cheat Codes Quotes

“And those girls? I was never one of them. Not then, and I won’t be again now. I don’t expect to see him here tonight, but if he shows up, I won’t be surprised. Everyone is back in town for Dean’s engagement party, and it’s inevitable”

“I look through the crowd of people and somehow see him right away. He looks up at the same time and smiles as soon as our eyes meet.

“Hey,” I say when we meet. He stops just inches from me and takes me in his arms, dipping me back a bit for a kiss.

“Hey to you too.” He runs his hands over my arms. 

“What’s this?”

“Oh, I got you something.”

“You did?”

“I got it on a whim. I saw it at a market I walked through and thought—well, just look at it and you’llknow.”

He takes the shopping bag from me and opens it up, pulling out a wool fedora. Looking it over, I worry he won’t get it.

“Is this an Indiana Jones hat?” he asks.

“Yes!”

“I like it.” He smiles and puts it on, and even Harrison Ford would be jealous. “But, uh, why?”

I lean back, staring at Archer like he just asked what color the sky is. “You’re Dr. Jones. Please do not tell me no one has ever said ‘okey-dokey Dr. Jones’ to you.”

“It’s surprising now that you’ve pointed it out, but no, they haven’t.” He pulls me in and kisses me again. “Wait, there’s an Indiana Jones market going on?”

“No, just some weird guy at a pop-up selling hats. He told me I had nice feet.”

Archer chuckles. “I guess you do, though, in that dress, it’s hard to look past your tits.”

I shimmy and wiggle my eyebrows. “That’s the point of a pushup bra.” ”

“Quinn grabs a tissue and blows hernose.

“Sorry. It’s gross, Iknow.”

“I spent an hour in surgery this morning draining abscesses and it was oddly satisfying,” I tell her. “So blowing your nose doesn’t gross me out in the least.”

“Good.”

“All I can say is if robots really do take over the world, at least I’ll know the code to shut themdown.”
