But once the cow's been milked, there's no squirting the cream back up her udders.
There's something out there waiting for us... and it ain't no man. We're all gonna die.
— But it will be, Regina. I have faith in you. You will figure out a way eventually.
— That's what I'm trying to tell you. I'm not sure I can figure it out.
— I can't help but think you're avoiding me.
— Well. Not very well, it seems.
— You're upset because of what I said that I'm still in love with you. I suppose I should never have told you, not after I asked you to find a way to save my wife.
— That's not why I'm avoiding you.
— Then why can't you even look me in the eye?
— Because I don't know how to tell you the truth.
— You know you can tell me anything.
— I've read every spell book in my prossession, experimented with every potion in my vault. I even tried to defeat the Snow Queen so I could force her to reverse the spell. But nothing I do seems good enough.
— But it will be, Regina. I have faith in you. You will figure out a way eventually.
— That's what I'm trying to tell you. I'm not sure I can figure it out.
How to keep — is there any any, is there none such, nowhere known some, bow or brooch or braid or brace, lace, latch or catch or key to keep
Back beauty, keep it, beauty, beauty, beauty... from vanishing away?
O is there no frowning of these wrinkles, ranked wrinkles deep,
Down? No waving off of these most mournful messengers, still messengers, sad and stealing messengers of grey?
No there’s none, there’s none, O no there’s none,
Nor can you long be, what you now are, called fair,
Do what you may do, what, do what you may,
And wisdom is early to despair:
Be beginning.
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

Life is very busy these days. There are too many people, and everyone wants what the other has. Years ago, you could find a place to sit in the train every now and then, but these days, it's difficult... When my wife died, she got a horizontal burial cot. I tried to buy a burial cot for myself the other day, and what they offered me was a vertical one. I've spent my whole life standing in trains and buses, now I'll even have to stand when I'm dead!
