Quote #4

I loved times like this when Byron was about to really get it and couldn't pay me back for teasing him. (7.39)

Quote #5

"Byron, why won't you behave? Why won't you think about what's going to happen to you when you do something wrong? Why do you always do stuff to get people mad at you?" (7.75)

Why do you think Byron can't behave? Why does he keep screwing up?

Quote #6

"Well, judging by the condition of your hair I wouldn't say thinking is one of your strong suits, is it." (7.108)
