Want to make out?With who? she asks, not bothering to look up.Me.She lifts her head from her book just long enough to give me a once-over. No, thanks, she says, then goes back to her homework.She's fuckin' with me. She's got to be fuckin' with me, right? Because of that pendejo Tuck?No. Because I don't want Madison's leftovers.Wait. Un.

The dialogue revolves around a playful yet confrontational exchange between two characters, where one, seeking a romantic connection, is dismissed by the other. The girl initially appears uninterested, casually focusing on her homework while she evaluates him. Her rejection is blunt, leading the boy to suspect she's teasing him, partly due to her past romantic involvement with someone named Tuck. He wrestles with feelings of inadequacy, feeling compared to Tuck, whom the girl claims is a better kisser.

The boy's response highlights his frustration at being labeled as "leftovers," which he finds offensive. This interaction showcases the tension between them, fueled by jealousy and insecurity. As they banter back and forth, it's evident that there's underlying chemistry, along with the challenge of proving himself. Ultimately, this exchange illustrates their dynamic, where rivalry and attraction intermix, setting the stage for potential romance.

Taffy. He thinks about taffy. He thinks it would take his teeth out now, but he would eat it anyhow, if it meant eating it with her.
by Mitch Albom
All our human endeavours are like that, she reflected, and it is only because we are too ignorant to realize it, or are too forgetful to remember it, that we have the confidence to build something that is meant to last.
by Alexander McCall Smith
The value of money is subjective, depending on age. At the age of one, one multiplies the actual sum by 145,000, making one pound seem like 145,000 pounds to a one-year-old. At seven – Bertie's age – the multiplier is 24, so that five pounds seems like 120 pounds. At the age of twenty four, five pounds is five pounds; at forty five it is divided by 5, so that it seems like one pound and one pound seems like twenty pence. {All figures courtesy of Scottish Government Advice Leaflet: Handling your Money.}

In fact, none of us knows how he ever managed to get his LLB in the first place. Maybe they're putting law degrees in cornflakes boxes these days.

Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.

Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes.
by Mitch Albom
You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.
by Mitch Albom
we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality-and, in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization.
by Mitch Albom
Where there's bluster, thinks Luisa, there's duplicity
by David Mitchell
I have the tendency to be nervous at the sight of trouble looming. As the danger draws near, I become less nervous. When the peril is at hand, I swell with fierceness. As I grapple with my assailant, I am without fear and fight to the finish with little thought of injury.
