Oh, that's such a beautiful Greenhouse.
It's Mrs. Gaskell's, it's her hobby.
Terry Crabtree I thought you were Mrs. Gaskell's hobby.
Piss off, will ya Crabs? I lost a wife today.
Terry Crabtree You'll find another one, you always do. She'll be younger, prettier; they always are.
Terry Crabtree Let me get this straight. Jerry Nathan owes you money, so as collateral he gives you his car.
Only I'm beginning to think that the car wasn't exactly Jerry's to give.
Terry Crabtree Ah, so whose car was it?
My guess? Vernon Hardapple.
Terry Crabtree The hood jumper?
He said a few things that lead me to believe that the car was his.

Terry Crabtree It's comforting to know that America's children have you for a teacher.
Nobody teaches a writer anything. You tell'em what you know. You tell'em to find their voice and stay with it. You tell the ones that have it to keep at it. You tell the ones that don't have it to keep at it too because that's the only way they're gonna get to where they're going. Of course, it does help if you know where you wanna go. Helping my students figure that out...that and Sara...that's what's made these last years worthwhile.
