"Gregory Ford! You promised to cover for breakfast today, and your overslept again!!" "Gregory, it hurts...ugh! Givea piggyback ride, now!" "Gregory, everyone says we're engaged. What's an engagement?" "Gregory, pick that one, the big apple!" "Gregory Ford..." "How is being punctual considered late?" "Why did you run so fast? Hop on." "I'll marry you, that's what."
