Easy, tiger, that's a tailored shirt.
Emily Barham
Oh, shut up and let me kiss you.

Lt. Cmdr. Charles E. Madison You're forever falling for men on their last nights on furlough. That's about the limit of your commitments, one night, a day, a month. You prefer lovers to husbands, hotels to homes. You'd rather grieve than live.
Emily Barham You're not only cowardly and selfish; you're remarkably cruel as well.
Lt. Cmdr. Charles E. Madison I'm not sentimental about war. I see nothing noble in widows.
Lt. Cmdr. Charles E. Madison I don't want to know what's good, or bad, or true. I let God worry about the truth. I just want to know the momentary fact about things. Life isn't good, or bad, or true. It's merely factual, it's sensual, it's alive. My idea of living sensual facts are you, a home, a country, a world, a universe. In that order. I want to know what I am, not what I should be.
