2 " He eyed her warily. “Did Pearl give you coffee?”“Yes.”“How many cups?”“Just three. It’s quite good with cream and sugar.”“Have you ever had it before?”“No. Why? What does that have to do with anything? I don’t see what that has to do with anything. Why are my knees shaking?”“Pearl!”Pearl peeked around the wall. “Well! She had a headache. I didn’t think she’d act like a squirrel. And I didn’t know she had three cups.”“A headache?” Maximillion murmured.

10 " An investment in acting lessons would serve you well. If you can avoid being a total shrew—or criminal, for that matter—you may come to my office.”“I’ll try to control my womanly impulses.”“See that you do. "
11 " Failure is the only damn way we learn. Have you failed? Yes. Will you fail more? All the time. And that’s the best thing that can ever happen to you. When you stop failing, you stop learning. And then you’re of no use to anyone. "
