    • Quotes

      Bay Kennish: You know, if this whole thing hadn't happened there would probably be like seventeen pictures of me on that wall.

      Tyler 'Ty' Mendoza: [Scoffs]

      Bay Kennish: Really, I'd have my own table; they'd know my order.

      Tyler 'Ty' Mendoza: [sighs] They know everyone's order. They only serve tacos.

      Bay Kennish: Indulge me. I'm trying to figure out what my life could have been like, Who I might have been.

      Tyler 'Ty' Mendoza: Hmm, well you'd probably still be a pain in the ass.

      Bay Kennish: Aww, thank you. You're so sweet.
