There are people who have a fondness for children ... Oh, I've heard of that before ... They're ruthless in their perfection, if you know what I mean ... And don't take any crap from them!

—That's a waste of time.

"You could have fooled me."

—It's true!

"You still haven't answered the question."

—I want you to know it has nothing to do with what's going on.

"But I have to do it!"
