1 " You know how you heal really fast?” I stood and walked to the doorway that separated our offices. “Yes,” I answered, wondering where she was going with this. She was sucking the side of her index finger. “Maybe if you lick my cut, your spit will heal me fast, too.” “Dude,” I said, tamping down a giggle, “I’m not licking your cut.” “Just lick me.” She held out her finger. “This is going to be tender for days.” “I’m not licking you.” A line I rarely said aloud.

2 " I was busy perusing the suicide notes and waiting for Belvedere's water to finish its treatment when I heard a thud from Cookie's office. Then a mousy squeak. The a throaty moan."Cookie," I said, wiggling my fingers at Belvedere to get him acquainted to with our strange ways, "are you masturbating?""No, I got a paper cut."Oh, I didn't see that coming. "

I totally knew that.”“You’re not even reading them, are you?”“I thought they were optional.” Note to self: Stop making paper airplanes out of Cookie’s memos. "

10 " I often question my sanity. Occasionally, it replies. "
11 " If I’m upset, hold me and tell me how beautiful I am.If I growl, retreat to a safe distance and throw chocolate.— BEST. ADVICE. EVER. "

14 " I knew it!” she said, glaring at me. “You’re in league with the devil.” “Duh. I’m affianced to him. Or, well, his son. I guess that makes me ‘in league’ with him, but you can’t judge people by their in-laws. In-laws are all crazy. Everyone knows that. "
