21 " Schließlich sagte ich leise: "Wie kommt's, dass du so weise bist, Effie?""Ich habe es siebenundsiebzig Jahre auf diesem Planeten ausgehalten", antwortete sie trocken. "Und indem ich die richtigen Entscheidungen getroffen habe, habe ich die meisten dieser Jahre sogar gelebt. "

22 " You’re the one real thing in my life right now … You should know I don’t want to let that go. "
23 " Don’t you get it?” he said, his voice gruff with emotion. “I’ve never met anyone like you before. There’s no one like you. I keep waiting to not feel like this, because there are times I can’t bear it. To care this much. To worry about you day in and day out, even before the attack. I love you so fucking much. I sometimes . . . I feel consumed by it. "
24 " Arrogance can be obnoxious when it’s not earned. But if you’re good at something and you know it, then it’s fake and a waste of time to pretend that you’re not. "
25 " Hate is giving them too much power. "
26 " A man like me isn’t capable of being your fucking white knight. …I felt the anger boil up inside me. “I’m not looking for a hero!”He flinched at the emotion cracking my words.“I never asked for that … I just wanted you, because despite what you might think, I see you. And no, you’re no fucking white knight, but you’re what I want. "
27 " I don’t know what this is you’re trying to do, but you and I are not the same.” He took another step back from me. “And I am not for you. I’m not your white knight. I’m just the guy who wanted to fuck you. "
28 " The greatest lesson you taught me is that parents' actions and choices resonates into their child's life, sometimes affecting them in a way it never should. "
29 " This isn’t just sex, Caine. This is an affair.” I held my hand up to stop his coming protest. “I’m not suggesting permanency. I’m suggesting that you admit that there’s a difference in what we’re doing here. We aren’t two people who just have sex now and then. There are feelings here whether we want to admit it or not. I’m not asking for forever, I’m asking you to stop pushing me away. I’m asking you to be real with me for however long this lasts. "
30 " Finally I said, my words soft, “How did you get so wise, Effie?” “I’ve survived seventy-seven years on this planet,” she answered wryly, “and by making the right choices I even managed to live for most of them. "
31 " It’s the plot to Pretty Woman,” Caine said dryly. "
32 " I fantasize about fucking you in this office a hundred times a day. "
33 " That’s easy. Gone With the Wind. Although I could slap Scarlett silly for most of the movie. I mean, who would ever choose Ashley over Rhett? "
34 " You cannot kill your boss on the first day, you cannot kill your boss on the first day, you cannot kill your boss period "
35 " But I never claimed to be normal. Nope, I was enjoying his obvious discomfort, because it meant I had found something real out about him, and I was eager to learn more about the charming Mrs. Flanagan. "
36 " So what … you get to act out some kind of vengeance by working me into an early grave?”“Something like that.” He smirked. “It’ll be a comfortable grave, though.” He told me the salary and I almost passed out. "
37 " How did you get so wise, Effie?” “I’ve survived seventy-seven years on this planet,” she answered wryly, “and by making the right choices I even managed to live for most of them.” * "
38 " You are my more. You are my great adventure. "
39 " What is your problem?”He whipped around, his face like granite. “My problem? My problem?”“Well, mine isn’t that I have a hearing problem,” I huffed. “No need to repeat yourself. "
40 " You can call him Caine, sweetheart. He’s not a god.”“Do you think you could tell him that? Because I don’t think he knows. "
