• Carl Lutcher : You know something? I hate people. They're the worst thing that ever happened to this world. They're liars and cheats. You can't trust any of them.

  Maisie : Some of my best friends are people!

  Carl Lutcher : Well, you'll learn, That's all I got to say.

  Maisie : Oh, Lutch, don't be mad. You'll get another job. Things always turn out for the best.

  Carl Lutcher : You know, when I was a kid, I caught a lot of birds one day. I laid a branch of a tree on the ground and covered it in that sticky stuff, that bird lime, you know? And all these birds got stuck on it. There must have been about a dozen of them. I wished I could get them off but I didn't know how. I couldn't get rid of them. So I ran around, waving the branch and shaking it and banging it against a wall. But I still couldn't get them off. I busted their legs and everything. I nearly went crazy. I couldn't just throw it away and leave them there. So you know what I did? I stuck them all in a big tank of water and drowned them.
