ambar (Jean Marie Diaz):
Hey, Paul, will Warren Zevon lyrics do?
Well, I went home with the waitress
The way I always do
How was I to know
She was with the Russians, too
I was gambling in Havana
I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns and money
Dad, get me out of this
I'm the innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck
Between the rock and the hard place
And I'm down on my luck
And I'm down on my luck
And I'm down on my luck
Now I'm hiding in Honduras
I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns and money
The shit has hit the fan
Send lawyers, guns and money...
"Lawyers, Guns and Money"
_Excitable Boy_
Warren Zevon

celine (Who Drugged Thumper?):
I don't believe in the empty illusions I was spoon fed as a child,
they shattered around me as I've experienced the world. I can't believe
a benevolent God would create a world in which so much human misery is
possible, free-will or not. I don't believe our lives have any profound
signifigance to anyone other than ourselves, or that the perpetuation of
the human race is in-itself valuable. I do believe I want off the bus,
but don't have the fare for the ticket as yet.

henry (Henry Mensch):
"I can't explain, but it's important!"
Five minutes later, the new girl came up to me.
"Is this place free?"
I looked at her and for an instant lost consciousness; at least, I
quite forgot Vladik and what he'd asked me.
"Can I sit here?" she asked.
"Yes," I whispered. And then, at that lesson, I got my first bad
mark--I got it because I wanted so badly to get a good one, for Lilia
Tarasova to see.
From then on I was always dreaming of doing something splendid in
front of her; or if not splendid, at least something very good, I
wanted to present myself, as they say, in a favorable light.
At last, however, I saw that my only chance for that favorable light
was on the skating rink, because I really do skate well. So I asked
her to come skating.
Lilia was not a bit like the other girls. Her schoolbag was a soft
yellow, with a gold-colored lock. Her schoolbooks and exercise books
were bound in patterned pink paper and didn't have a single blot or
any kind of mark. Her fountain pen was miniature, her pencil had an
orange erase on the end and her notebook was elegant, with a calendar
on the cover. As for her eyes . . . I've no words to describe them.
Lilia looked in that notebook with the calendar.
"The twenty-eighth of February; that's a Saturday. Good! We'll go
skating on Sunday, the twenty-ninth."
"Why such a long time off?"
"To give you time to earn the right!"
"What right?"
"To go skating with me." She looked into my eyes and asked, "What are
you ready to do for my sake?"
