44 " It makes you very cool," he said, taking big, jumping steps to get in front of me. "CNN would interview you, for sure. Daughter of Flobie! But don't worry. I'll keep them back! "
45 " Being sixteen means you have to be a genius conversational editor. "
46 " Don-Keun was a new man. The moment they arrived, he vanished for a second. We heard muffled ecstatic screaming coming from somewhere in the back of the Waffle House kitchen, then he reappeared, his face shining with the kind of radiance usually associated with religious epiphany. "
47 " Before I take you into the beating heart of the story, let’s get one thing out of the way.

53 " Something about me has always liked the drama and inconvience of bad weather. The worse the better, really. "
54 " There is always the risk: something is good and good and good and good, then all at once it gets awkward. "
55 " I stood under the awning for a moment, but finally I decided that being in a bad mood with your friends beats being in a bad mood without them. "
56 " Tobin," Mom said disapprovingly. She wasn't a particularly funny person. It suited her professionally - I mean, you don't want your cancer surgeon to walk into the examination room and be like, "Guy walks into a bar. Bartender says, 'What'll ya have?'
