Mr. Blithe
(Mumbles)
It just never works. I don’t even know why people bother. Why did I ever bother? I was young and naïve, that’s why. Stupid. And look at me now, I have the worst life ever. I would admire a person with a worse life than me.
Ms. Well

What Holly? Isn’t making toys for the good boys and girls of the world fun?
