My dream - and I hope you don’t find this too crazy - is that I would like the people of this community to feel that if, God forbid, there were a fire, calling the fire department would actually be a wise thing to do. You can’t have people, if their houses are burning down, saying, “Whatever you do, don’t call the fire department!” That would be bad. ---

I find you, and not only are you not dead, but you’re pregnant, and you’re getting married. To some fucking jerk! I overreacted. ---
