  • Oh, you know I really am fascinated by aviation. I never knew they did it all with rubber bands.
  • Spitting distance? How vivid!
  • Are we all lit?
  • Child, how can you see with all that light?
  • That is a B. The first letter of a seven letter word that means your late father.
  • There's no such place as San Francisco.

  • Bunny Bixler and I were in the semi-finals—the very semi-finals, mind you—of the ping-pong tournament at the club and this ghastly thing happened. We were both playing way over our heads and the score was 29-28. And we had this really terrific volley and I stepped back to get this really terrific shot. And I stepped on the ping-pong ball! I just squashed it to bits. And then Bunny and I ran to the closet of the game room to get another ping-pong ball and the closet was locked! Imagine? We had to call the whole thing off. Well, it was ghastly. Well, it was just ghastly.
  • Books can be awfully decorative, don't you think?
