You know what I'm startin' to think? I'm startin' to think that the only kind of people they want in this country are guys like me. You know, guys who will work
for scraps, do six jobs. Basically, bend over and take it. Wanna know something, darling? 10, 15 years tops, this country is finished as a democracy. I'm telling you, as a caring society, where people do things for each other, we're done, we're finished.

— Well, hello! Rescue is at hand!
— Don't come any nearer!
— Don't worry, I'm not who I used to be. I've had extensive therapy. I realized I have been using food as a substitute for love and I have the books to prove it. «Breaking the Cycle». «Heal Yourself in Seven Days». «Stop Blaming Yourself, Please». «And Help for the Bedwetting Child», which I picked up by mistake but I've got them all!
— You come an inch closer and I swear I'll shout my head off.
— Ooo, that is what's known as an empty threat. I hope you don't mind me saying this, but I get the feeling you still don't completely trust me.
— I don't trust you at all! You tried to eat my grandmother!
— Oh, no! I was just being playful. See wolfies just pretend to do naughty things. I would have never really eaten her, she was tough old bird. I wouldn't hurt a sausage. Butter would not melt in my mouth. Well, it would melt, of course it would melt, but very slowly.

Funny Quotes

I don't remember the night she left, but I remember the morning after because you were trying to make me breakfast and you didn't know where anything was. <...> Well, I knew she'd come back because she'd left all her clothes, you know. She loved her clothes more than anything in the world. And I kept going into her room and checking on them. And then after a few months you suddenly said that we had to get rid of them all, so, I remember folding them all very neatly, and I kept hoping that there was going be, you know, a secret note or something that would be written for me, you know, just to me, telling me that she loved me, and explaining the secret magical reason why she had to go, you know? I mean, I still have this uncontrollable urge to just go up to people and say: «My mother left me, when I was seven». You know, as if that would explain everything. And I miss her. And I hate her. And I miss her. And I feel like I was on a train and it crashed or something, and no one came and rescued me.
