“That you would provide for me! Warmth, clothing, seafood buffets, a BED!?”
“We have a bed.”

“I did love you, when I thought you were down to earth.”
“Well, I’m about to be sucked deep INTO earth if you don’t get us out of here, pronto!”
“This is not an injustice, princess. Maybe you should have read my entire dating profile before responding.”
