BARBARA: Tom didn’t really say this, did he, when Suri was born?
Soon thereafter her mother changes her name because, as husband Tom Cruise explains, “Katie is a young girl's name. Her name is Kate now -- she's a child-bearing woman."
MATTHEW: Alas, I believe he did. The rumor is, he'll be changing his own name to Thomas once he actually has sex with a woman.
BARBARA: I’ve just now fallen off my chair in violent hysterics.

MATTHEW: God can't write story to save His life, but He sure does know how to create characters . . .
ESTER: Hmm. It's true -- how could an omnipotent being be so limited as to only create seven archetypical storylines? Imagine if Eve hadn't been mildly inquisitive -- we'd only have the one story, and how boring would that be!
MATTHEW: We'd be watching it as The Gardeners on cable and saying "Oh look--there's us!!!"
ESTER: Now I finally understand British television . . .

SELF-PITY
I never saw a wild thing
Sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
Without ever having felt sorry for itself.
