"I don't know what to believe in anymore." "Well, nothing worth doing in life is easy." "And I have great faith in you, son." "I know you can do it." "Thanks, Dad." "This is no good, Dan!"

"It may sound like I'm bragging, but it's really the best cherry pie in the world." "She was a bit of an eccentric." "She didn't get along with my mom but I always loved her." "She taught me so many things." "We'd go to Broadway musicals, to the movies." "Now they call her the "queen of mystery literature."" "Lives in an elegant villa in the south of France."
