Favorite Quotes: "Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one."-Lord Henry Wotton (Picture of Dorian Gray) "I'm reminded of 'The Princess and the Pea' and get to thinking ... What kind of girl is going to feel a pea under her mattress? And furthermore, what kind of a man is going to find a girl who is so distressed by a measly little pea and think, "Now that is the woman for me." I think if a man found himself a woman that tossed and turned all night because she had a pea under her mattressed, he'd run for the hills. That is some high-maintenance woman right there."- Heaven (Stupid and Contagious) "There's a giant pink elephant balancing on a ball, singing show tunes, but neither of us is mentioning it. And I'm not going to be the one to say anything."- Brady (Stupid and Contagious)
