“ This is how far the world is from where I am.”
“ If I’m going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice.”
“ All it takes is one bad day.”
“ You had a bad day once, am I right?”
“ You know, I just don’t know what to do with myself.”
" You can't rely on anyone these days. You gotta do everything yourself, don't we?"
“ If I’m going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!”
“ All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy.”
“ You know, I always thought that if I had a kid, I’d name him after my father.”
" All it takes is one bad day."
" You had a bad day once, am I right?"
" This is how far the world is from where I'd like it to be."
