Quote from Jess in Pepperwood
Edgar: You said, "Great literature is surprising." What's more surprising than killing your main character? Jess: What about this ... go with me ... what if, um, what if my character lives and the book just goes on? Imagine coming to the end of the book, and then just finding a lot more book. Surprise. ["I'm So Excited" ring tone plays] Um, oh. Edgar: I heard that song yesterday. Jess: This song is everywhere these days. Edgar: Were you at my house? Okay, thank you. Good-bye. Jess: No. No! No! Edgar: I have to go... right now. Jess: [on the phone] Apricot's leaving! Apricot's leaving!
