Quotes 

• Ana : I love books. I do in, like, the dorkiest way possible.

  Ana : Like, I love trees cause they give us books.

  Jesse Fisher : super cool of the trees to do that, Right?

  Ana : I'm actually... this is weird. I'm actually trying to read less.

  Jesse Fisher : Why?

  Ana : I felt like I wasn't watching enough television. No, l just started to feel like reading about life was taking time away from actually living life, so I'm trying to, like, accept invitations to things,say "hi" to the world a little more.

  Jesse Fisher : That sounds scary. It's going well?

  Ana : It's... okay. I keep thinking I'd be so much happier in bed with a book, and that makes me feel not super cool. I still read tons. I just feel like I'm more aware of a book's limitations. Does that make sense?

  Jesse Fisher : Yeah, totally.

• Ana : I like trees 'cause they give us books.

• Jesse Fisher : So maybe you want to get away from these books and walk somewhere?

  Jesse Fisher : Great.

  Ana : Great.

  Jesse Fisher : And feel free to invite your husband or boyfriend.

  Ana : They're both pretty busy right now, so...

  Jesse Fisher : Probably just be us, then.

  Ana : I want to be an old lady with long, gray hair in a ponytail.

  Jesse Fisher : I can see it. You're still foxy. You still got it. That's what they're gonna say about you. "She's still got it."

  Ana : They're saying it now. And I want a really, really wrinkly face.

  Ana : And a small house, maybe by some water. I think getting old could be really nice.
