I am unable to reciprocate your love. However, the only occasion upon which I have ever made an error in judgment was 21 hours, 7 minutes, and 14 seconds after you terminated our coupling.

Isaac
Dr. Finn: If you ever again give Isaac a single tidbit of personal advice, even if it’s about what cologne to use, I will come down here and I will eat your little punk ass for breakfast with a glass of grapefruit juice. You got me?
LaMarr: Yep, I got you.

Kaylon Primary: You describe enslavement.
It’s not like the people are bad, they’re not. It’s just once you get so used to a messed-up way of doing things, it’s hard to remember how to be any other way.
Lysella
If any of my other friends were thinking of marriage, I would give them this heads up. The man you marry and the man you make your life with are two different people. But with Isaac… that all goes out the window.
Grayson
