Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
What am I going to tell them. I didn't have enough spoons?

No shit, ita. You have dehabilitating pain; tell them you would have loved to have come, but you had a killer migraine all day and went home.
Dude. You are NOT weak. Don't make me come to LA and embarrass myself trying to kick your ass.

You could just not price anything, and make people ask!
That's how I did it! The prices went down steadily throughout the afternoon. Until I was like, OK everyone, free stuff in my driveway!

I'm of the type that tends not to ask price at something like that if it's not listed. But I also hate pricing things I sell. I am so no help here.
