Popular Dialogues

"[first lines] Narrator: The story doesn't end when you get here, like you think it might. All the mortal pieces have scattered, but the impressions remain. Every last one of them."

"Stan: Listen, I know it's a little startling, that's why I sat here for awhile while you were sleeping. I didn't want to scare you, then I figured, "How the heck could you be scared of a guy that's got a cup of coffee?""
