"'The Book for Dastardly Dogs.'"
"That's stupid.  How can a fucking book read a dog?"

Early twenties, to a group of her friends on the train platform...
"He was really tall.  And kinda big, like his muscles, you know?  And the way he chopped carrots was amazing."

"I've got the doctor coming back around soon to take off all these heart monitors."
"Oh, that doesn't sound too good.  Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I've just got all these things wrong with me.  It's funny, I was down at the servo the other day and I gave an old woman a scare.  She got out of the car and was like, 'you don't look old enough to have all those things on,' and I was like, 'yeah, I'm thirty-one.'  The old woman wanted to know what was wrong with me and I was like, 'I've had a hard life, get off my back.'  Then when I light up a smoke, she sneers and says, 'well, there's the problem.'
"What?!"
"Yeah, I was just like, 'don't you dare tell me what I shouldn't do.'  I mean, I might be dying anyway, what difference does it make whether or not I decide I might like a smoke?"

The small boy with a box too big for him...
"Excuse me, would you like to buy a chocolate?"
"Sure buddy, how much are they?"
"Um, they're $2.  I'm helping my friend.  I've already sold all mine."

"That would be the most awesome movie ever: Kung Fu Dinosaurs!"

College friends around a table...
"The older I get, the more I realise that growing up is all about learning to cope with a broken heart."
"Yeah, I find growing up is so depressing.  I'm still hopeful, but it's a bitter kind of hopeful.  Like there's cracks all through me and I can see the light shining through but I still don't fall apart."
"You know, it seems like everyone I speak to leads me to think that growing up is a development of the process of holding yourself together, that everyone is getting by just trying to hold it together."

"I love blow jobs, they're the best."

"I'm so sorry, I'm a bit distracted.  I'm trying to think of ways to save money.  My partner proposed to me on the weekend."
"Oh, how exciting, congratulations!"
"Oh, thanks.  Don't even ask me about it though.  It's only been a week and it's stressing me out!"

"I studied politics which is useless."

"We're one of the only towns that voted out town water."
"Really, why's that?"
"Most of your rates go towards paying for a bit of water to trickle by your house.  Why pay for something you can get from the sky for free?"
