Episode Quotes |
| |
Cogswheel: A place where you know everybody and everybody knows you, and people give you the time of day and look out for each other instead of always looking out for number one.
Salesman: You know what you sound like?
Cogswheel: No, what?
Salesman: A damn fool writer. A nipped-in-the-bud oh-so-sensitive author of books. Probably never published. Have I got you nailed?
Cogswheel: I have some stories being considered.
