Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
When the world gets tough, a girl’s gotta keep on pushin’.
“I never married.”
“Why not?”
“Because you didn’t come along until today.”
“I cured myself of schizophrenia.”
“How’d you do that?”
“I stopped listening to the voices.”
The man in the top hat was rapping for tips. When someone made a donation, he’d ask their name, then build a rap around their name. When this boy walked by, however, he gave him a rap, free of charge:
“Damien, listen,
Mom and Dad will always be your best friend.
You got a problem that’s about to take you over?
Take it,
and put it,
on Mom and Dad’s shoulders…”
“Pounce?”
“It’s to remind me to be more aggressive.”
“When you yell at someone, who hears it more: you or them? You’re only hurting yourself by getting angry. I want to live to be 100. I haven’t raised my voice in 40 years.”
“There are so many bodies that I want to paint.”
“Don’t lie about something before you’ve given it a chance to become true.”
“We just got back from the prom.”
“Did you have dates?”
“Um, yeah.”
“He gave me his cold.”
“I want to be a police officer.”
“What’s the best part of being a police officer?”
“Protecting people.”
“What’s the worst part?”
“Probably the gun fights.”
