XDenny: Vieille toupie (old bag).
Elroy: Sorry, ma'am.
Julia: You didn't learn manners from him. And you won't learn anything good. Take my advice, boy, get a real job and forget this nonsense.
Elroy: He sees somethin' he can use in everything he looks at. That's not so dumb. 'sides, I'm not from here. They don't even speak French where I'm from. I ain't lookin' for his kind of work. But I gotta learn my way around, see? The folks I work for are real good to me. But grownups change they minds, and grownups go away. I gotta watch out for myself.
Denny: She gave you candy?
Elroy: Grownups'll believe anything if you make you eyes big enough.

Finally up. Sorry -- for those of you who didn't see the Twitter update, my plane was three hours late and I didn't get in to New Jersey until past midnight. Half the plugs in the airport were out and the other half guarded by vicious businessmen, so I couldn't even get work done. Thank god I brought plenty of books....
On the topic of books (since I'm carrying on at least one book-related conversation in the archives), I do log/mini-review stuff I read on Goodreads. If anyone else is on there, drop me on your friends list er something. Book people are *always* my friends.
