Quotes
“ | I read comic books. I fully believe weird, unexplainable shit happens in this world. For the record, I told the police that he burnt up in the car fire. I told them that you lit it to stop him. I did. You're like a superhero. Like the Golden Blade Warrior. Except without all the body armor. And You have nicer hair. | ” |
