Memorable Quotations:

• "Give 'em time, kid. They'll catch on. You know, your folks will get used to you, and you'll get used to them. Then everything will settle down nicely, unless we have another war. Then none of us have to worry because we'll all be blown to bits the first day. So cheer up, huh?" --as Butch Engel in THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES.
