Quote from Phil in Spanks for the Memories
Phil: You know why I like the meadow? 'Cause it lets me think about what I want to do next. Should I battle the ogre or brave the Swamps of Despair? Should I take the super stressful internship in Boston, or am I doing that just because I think I'm supposed to? Alex: [scoffs] I beat out hundreds of candidates. I would be working with the pre-eminent scholar in the field. This is the chance of a lifetime. Phil: Yeah, but it's your lifetime. It's okay to enjoy it. Alex: [sighs] No one turns this down. Phil: Well, you always liked being the first one to do something. Give yourself the summer you want. You've collected enough gold ingots to buy yourself some time off. Alex: It won't make me lazy, will it? Phil: Honey, you walked at six months, spoke at a year, and your first words were "Sorry it took me so long to walk."
