Quotes: "Nothing penetrates with you Dawson your so far removed from reality you can't even see what's right in front of you."
"This is so pathetic Dawson but I'm not above witnessing your hormonal suicide so, count me in."
"I'm going to kill you. One night in your sleep, a slit throat maybe, or a screwdriver to your temple. Be ready."
