It was just the fact the napkin was in my lap. It was like she knew it was something that fancy people did, but it had never really occured to her that it was something she could do. Until the Jesus. Apparently.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've been wondering that myself. For you, maybe. Then again, maybe not!

Is it too early to go to bed?
Lee, no. It's not too early. I'm sleepy, but I have a paper to write. Seriously, save me.
