Quote from Mike in The Floating Anniversary
Sue: Can I ask you a question about a boy? Mike: I'd rather you not. [Sue turns away] Okay, okay. No, it's okay. Sue: Well, his name's Brendan. I'm trying to get his attention. Mike: Well, don't do anything sexual. Boys hate that. Sue: Well, what did Mom do when she wanted you to notice her? Mike: Well, with your mother, it was the other way. She didn't know I was alive. I had to make a grand gesture, so I went to a friend's barn... [a barn was spray-painted with a love heart containing "Mike + Lisa"] Sue: Lisa? Mike: Well, your mom didn't like me very much when we first met, so she told me her name was Lisa. But hey, it got me here, didn't it? Sue: Wow. A grand gesture, huh? Thanks, Dad. Mike: Heh. [looks at the dog] Yeah, it got me here.
