Cosi`

Surprise. Fairy cakes. My family brought them in for me.
I’m not disturbing you, am I?
Just between you and me, I’ve got a flick-knife. If Doug
attempts any more arson, then he’s a goner.
I was looking at the first scene, seeing I had nothing to
do, which was totally unexpected after all this talk about how large my part
was going to be, when I read the words that Henry says: ‘woman’s constancy is
like the Phoenix of Arabia. Everyone swears it exists but no one has seen it.’
By the way I think your translation is wonderful. Do you believe women are like
that? That they aren’t true and faithful. I am. With someone like you I could
be true and faithful.
Go down the wrong way, did it?
What is that smell?
Kerosene!
If there is anything worse than the wrath of God, it’s the wrath of Cherry!
