Sue (observing Dave’s idiosyncratic way of making milky coffee): “I have to tell you that I’m going to give some of your interesting characteristics to a rather unpleasant character in my next book.”

Sue: “Well, you were the hero in my first three novels. You can’t expect to be the hero every time.”

Dave: “Of course. It would be too exhausting.”
