“Napoleon, give me some of your tots.”

“It took me like three hours to finish the shading on your upper lip. It’s probably the best drawing I’ve ever done.”

“Grandma took a little spill at the sand dunes today. Broke her coccyx.”

“Pedro offers you his protection.”

“Well, things are getting pretty serious right now. I mean, we chat online for, like, two hours every day so I guess you could say things are gettin’ pretty serious.”

“You got like three feet of air that time.”
