Kielyr : What's a bordello?
Ben : A whorehouse... What are you reading?
Kielyr : Lolita?
Ben : I didn't assign that book.
Kielyr : I'm skipping ahead.
Ben : And?
Kielyr : It's interesting.
Rellian : Interesting!
Bo : Illegal word!
Zaja : Dad, Kielyr said interesting!
Ben : Interesting is a non-word. You know you're supposed to avoid it... Be specific.
Kielyr : It's disturbing.
Ben : More specific.
Kielyr : Can I just read?
Ben : After you give us your analysis thus far.
Kielyr : There's this old man who loves this girl, and she's only 12 years old.
Ben : That's the plot.
Kielyr : Because it's written from his perspective, you sort of understand and sympathize with him. Which is kind of amazing because he's essentially a child molester. But his love for her is beautiful. But it's also sort of a trick because it's so wrong. You know, he's old, and he basically rapes her. So it makes me feel... I hate him. And somehow I feel sorry for him at the same time.
Ben : Well done.

Ben : Mom needs to be in the hospital right now.
Vespyr : But you said hospitals are a great place to go if you're a healthy person and you want to die.
Zaja : You said Americans are under-educated and over-medicated.
Kielyr : You said the AMA are avaricious whores only too willing to spread their fat legs for big pharma.
Ben : All those things are true. But mom does not have enough of the neurotransmitter serotonin to conduct electrical signals in her brain.

Ben : [Rellian is dangling from climbing rope] Rell? Can you flex your fingers? S-T-O-P. Stay calm, Think, Observe, and Plan.
Zaja : If you hit the rocks below you, you'll die from blunt force trauma. Or internal bleeding from massive bone fracturing. Or splenic flexure of the large intestine.
Ben : Yes, thank you, Zaj.
