"Lou Ann, I moved in here because i knew we'd get along. It's nice of you to make dinner for us all, and take care of turtle sometimes, and I know you mean well. But we're acting like Blondie and Dagwood here."
"I feel like the only reason I have any friends is because I'm always careful not to say something totally dumb and if I blow it just one time then thats it!"
-Lou Ann
Birds are metaphorically associated with turtle. As turtles life changes so do the birds that symbolize her.
"The way I see it a person isn't nothing more than a scarecrow. The only difference between one that stands up good and one that blows over is what kind of a stick they're stuck up on"
