“You kiss me, you’re gonna say sweet things. Not ‘we can’t do this,’ ‘it’s soooo wrong,’ blah, blah, blah. I deserve better. I deserve someone who feels so damn lucky he gets to kiss me that he praises the God- damn-Lord while he’s doin’ it and thanks Him after!”

“It’s like this test Mr. Anscomb talked about back in high school. They put a marshmallow in front of a kid, and they tell him if you don’t eat it, when I come back, I’ll give you two. The good kids wait, and the bad kids eat it. That’s bullshit, though. The smart kids grab that marshmallow. ‘Cause in this world? You ain’t promised anything else, and you better take what sweet you can.”
