You're my Mona Lisa.

Madonna of the Pukes.

"I really miss being in a committed relationship, Randy." "Which part do you miss most?" "Having someone disagree with you over what you're going to eat, or over what TV shows you're going to watch? Or do you miss having to account for how you spend your time? Or having to explain why you bought yourself something awesome without first getting permission?" "Mostly I miss the back rubs. They don't ask you to wash the dishes first at massage parlors."

"The Leonardos, the Raphaels, Titians, Veroneses, Giottos... Italy wants them back, all 427 of them."

"I remember that game of Spin-the-Bottle like it was yesterday. It was love at firstspin."

Da Vinci painting a grumpy version of Mona Lisa.

"I don't know what happened, your holiness! I painted the ENTIRE CEILING!"

'I almost get out the door and then my mom yells...'Don't you know it's February?!' And here I am again...looking like an eskimo.'

'It's a shame you didn't get to use all those little blue pills before Ted died.'

'Remember when we caught small fish by the bucket full?' 'Oh, yeah! Those were the dace!'

"The last time I was in Europe was 4 boyfriends ago..."

'So what have you been up to?'

"They must be from a time when it was safe to meet in the park at night."

"Once you get over the three hundred and sixty eight texts it took to plan this, it really is nice to get together."

"I don't like a school year that begins with 'while you were out'."

"Galileo soon modified his gravity experiments" "Ready to catch it?"

They were long past their canine pasts, but the rare stamp brought out the beast in them.

"When we were dating it was all wine, soft lights, and candy. So nothing's changed really."

Francois Rabelais

"I thought you might like to hear how my love-making sounded when I was a younger man."

'You never smile at me like that!'

Pull my finger.

"Your painted celing is ready, your holiness."

"Of course I've had some wonderful times since we've been married. Mostly, while you were at work."

'You've never forgotten that Elsie Turner, have you George!'

"You remember Eric. He used to carry my books home from school."

"If I remember correctly, you were the only one the dating agency had left over."

'We've been through thick and thin. Tell me about the thin again.'

"I remember it well, me in wig and gown, gazing down at you, a picture of innocence, standing in the dock."

My first Boyfriend.

"Honey! Remember when we first met and you used to nibble my ear?"

"He wouldn't have rolled over and over in agony on the bombed-out cinder pitches we had to play on!"

"We never have any activities that make for cute anecdotes anymore."

"Remember the great cranberry scare of '59? And the cellular phone hysteria of '93? Ralph Nader's killer hot dog with the nitrates? Our evacuation at Love Canal? Remember the toxic-teeth scare, with the amalgam fillings leeching mercury into our gullets?..."
