73Narrator OtherQuotesQuotes

Narrator

74Narrator OtherQuotesQuotes

75Narrator OtherQuotesQuotes

Narrator
Narrator: A soft computer voice said, "I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that." For a moment Luke thought it was another slip-up - first Donna, then Dave - before realizing it was the voice of HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Narrator: He left, once more feeling like a boy in a dream, or Alice down the rabbit hole.

77Narrator OtherQuotesQuotes

78NarratorOtherQuotesQuotes

Narrator
Narrator: If the five of them were able to create that united mental force, a kind of Vulcan mind meld, shouldn't that be enough to mutiny and take Back Half over?

79Narrator OtherQuotesQuotes

Narrator
Narrator: Kalisha was watching the Ward A kids and thinking about the Ohio State marching band. Her dad loved Buckeyes football, and she had always watched with him for the closeness. But the only part she really cared about was halftime show, when the band, the pride of the Buckeyes, the announcer always proclaimed, would take the field, simultaneously playing their instruments and making shapes that were only discernible from above - everything from the S on Superman's chest to a fantastic Jurassic Park dinosaur that walked around nodding its saurian head.

80Narrator OtherQuotesQuotes

Narrator
Narrator: He turned to regard the misguided hero. He was broad shouldered as an authentic hero should be, but he was wearing glasses, and that didn't fit the stereotype. Of course there was always Clark Kent, Stackhouse thought.
