You are concerned with how cute or how pretty. Then let's really get basic and persecute ugly people!”

I wondered if he was going to pick that one.' 'How do you even know that?' she said. 'You're fifteen years old, for goodness' sake. You should be ... I don't know, chasing girls or playing video games.' 'You're telling a sociopath to chase girls?”
