Emma is a mattress who got thrown off the truck when her parents split up. It's not like you can blame a mattress when people don't tie it down tight enough.

I want to go to sleep and not wake up, but I don’t want to die.

There is nothing wrong with me. These are really sick people, sick that you can see.

Everybody told me to be a man. Nobody told me how.

I was good at digging holes. It was the rest of life I sucked at.

There's no point in asking why, even though everybody will. I know why. The harder question is "why not?" I can't believe she ran out of answers before I did.

I smile and play pretend through the Morning Show in the kitchen.
