That is cracking me up. My insides her from suppression. "Bill never tires of mocking my circumstances." If Speedy can be played by a girl, I want that part. I want to say that line. I'm going to think that line all the way home.
Poor toys and their missing Daisy.

That's terrific. Abandonment: by parent. By God. By any loved one, etc. It doesn't always matter that there are others when the One you want isn't there.
