I haven’t got much time to waste, it’s time to make my way
I’m not afraid of what I’ll face, but I’m afraid to stay
I’m going down my own road and I can make it alone
I’ll work and I’ll fight, Till I find a place of my own

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl. We ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn’t I get that day over and over and over…

I’m trying to find a man to share my life with, but it’s not been easy. I’m a 35-year-old woman with two small children!

No time to hesitate
Those who run seem to have all the fun

Mr. Banks: I feel a surge of deep satisfaction / Much as a king astride his noble steed - thank you. When I return from daily strife, to hearth and wife / How pleasant is the life I lead.
Mrs. Banks: Dear, it’s about the children.
Mr. Banks: Yes, yes, yes. I run my home precisely on schedule / At 6:01 I march through my door / My slippers, sherry and pipe are due at 6:02 / Consistent is the life I lead
Mrs. Banks: George, they’re missing.
Mr. Banks: Splendid. Splendid. It’s grand to be an Englishman in 1910 / King Edward’s on the throne it’s the age of men / I’m the lord of my castle the sovereign, the liege / I treat my subjects, servants children, wife with a firm but gentle hand, noblesse oblige. / It’s 6:03 and the heirs to my dominion / Are scrubbed and tubbed and adequately fed / And so I’ll pat them on the head and send them off to bed Ah, lordly is the life I lead. Winifred, where are the children?
Mrs. Banks: They’re not here, dear.
Mr. Banks: What? Well, of course they’re here! Where else would they be?

Dating is pressure and tension. What is a date, really, but a job interview that lasts all night? The only difference between a date and a job interview is that in not many job interviews is there a chance you’ll end up naked at the end of it. “Well, Bill, the boss thinks you’re the man for the job. Why don’t you strip down and meet some of the people you’ll be working with?

When I am a man
I will be an astronaut,
And find Peter Pan.
