Can we just take the book and leave?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is that the book?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I don&#8217;t know.  Can we just grab all the books and leave?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would like to book it&#8230; with the books.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s an Alice-shaped hole&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He rolled a six.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I rolled a six too, if you add the dice together.  Instead of the 51 I actually got.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s because you bought an eighteen foot Joker gun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I&#8217;m going to run.  And then probably die in a horrible, nasty walk-up apartment in Boston.  With an evil book in my hands.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I actually expected you to work together, not cover the rest of the party.  With your viscera.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And if you could see the water it was summoned from, you would run for a puddle of alcohol.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I&#8217;m going to run.  There may, in fact, be a puddle of alcohol at the end.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So you&#8217;re moving at 8&#8230; And you&#8230;&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I have really pretty shoes on.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;So was that a success or a failure?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Not at all when he gets caught stealing money from me.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Yes.  That, and other debts&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nope, not good with this thing that you just laid out a fish-man with&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So I figured, why not signal the cops and shoot the fish-man?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s killing a fish-frog.  That&#8217;s not really murder.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will run towards her, I guess, signaling, &#8216;Danger, run the opposite direction!'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s just as large as god intended, Matt.  I don&#8217;t even know what we&#8217;re talking about&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You brought a knife to a gun fight?  I mean, you brought a Deep One to a gun fight, but&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re yelling, &#8216;Run,&#8217; at the woman only only sometimes listens to ME.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Rarely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What I&#8217;m hearing is, &#8216;Run,&#8217; like, &#8216;Get here faster.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Seriously, I&#8217;m going to have to make a sanity check based on your actions.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;&#8216;Things seen: Alice in action&#8230;'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bang-bang-gurgle-fuck you&#8217;re dead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not ditching her to go fight the old man with the knife.  I&#8217;m just going to encourage leaving&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Did we tell him where we were from?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I think you actually told him you were from the library in Australia, despite the lack of Australian accents&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Can we do this nonchalantly?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;When we get around the corner.  Until then, we should hustle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So that would be a &#8216;no&#8217; to the nonchalant walking&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re taking pictures again, aren&#8217;t you?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;No, I&#8217;m starting the car.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s the only other spell he has: summon Dagon.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;&#8216;You&#8217;ll never guess who we met in Boston!'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you make a puddle in this car &#8211; so help me&#8230;&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Okay, is that retroactive?  If the puddle dries before you see it, does it count&#8230;?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Okay, I&#8217;m so scared, I think I just peed tears.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Herbert, can we get back in the car and take him to the hospital?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;No!  No names!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to make two sets of notes.
