Diablo: What are you thankful for?
Phoenix: I am thankful for not being in that RV anymore. How about you? What are you thankful for?
Diablo: Rabbit and peas and that nice man who feed us for four days all the food we could get down into our tummies.
Phoenix: Be grateful he wasn't fatting you up for Thanksgiving dinner.
Diablo: What? He had a funny accent, but he didn't look Chinese to me.

Peas Please
Diablo: I smell French fries.
Phoenix: Heard you are going on a special diet.
Diablo: Mi Diet, Su Diet.
Phoenix: Heard you are going to eat kangaroo and peas.
Diablo: Sounds yummy. You smell French fries?
Phoenix: Peas?
Diablo: Yeah, peas. Except, they got to be canned. Only canned. Not frozen.
Phoenix: Peas?
Diablo: Yeah, peas. Where are those French Fries?
Phoenix: We are parked next to McDonald’s. Don’t get too excited. She’s not getting you any fries.
Diablo: Ummm. By the way…what is kangaroo?

Missing Home
Diablo: Did you see that road sign?
Phoenix: West (By God) Virginia?
Diablo: That's a new one. How many states does that make?
Phoenix: No it isn’t. We went through West Virginia in June. In the Jeep. Remember?
Diablo: Oh yeah. That eighteen hour ordeal. How could I forget? We traveled all night.
Phoenix: You ended up hiding in a box in the back.
Diablo: So how many states have we been in?
Phoenix: Counting Tennessee? Fourteen.
Diablo: I liked Rhodes Island best. Good grass and great fried clams.
Phoenix: Me. I preferred Tennessee. Could have stayed in the office and forgot about all this.

Discoveries
Phoenix: I don’t believe it. There is something you won’t eat.
Diablo: It does weird things to me.
Phoenix: For a cat who eats peas, avocado, chick-peas, carrots, corn and hot salsa I can’t imagine why you don’t eat peanut butter.
Diablo: It sticks to the roof of my mouth.
Phoenix: By the way...
Diablo: I know. We ain't going south no more.

Teeth Marks
Phoenix: You are a loco cat.
Diablo: I don’t know what overcame me.
Phoenix: You have done that more times than all the cats she has ever had - combined. In fact, after the second time you exceeded all others.
Diablo: Let’s see. There was the time at the vet’s about two days after she rescued us from the pound.
Phoenix: Yes, you had not eaten a thing in two days and you were a little kitten. She was very concerned about your welfare.
Diablo: The vet had this great smelling foooood. Her hand was in the way. Then there was the time I brought her down like a water buffalo.
Phoenix: Right on her naked ass. You were possessed. A few months later you stalked her in the kitchen. Your wild-eyed crazed look made her jump up on the kitchen counter in order to escape.
Diablo: Yeah, she leapt off the counter, dashed into the bedroom and slammed the door to avoid me. I can’t help it. I could see her peaking out from beneath the door as I laid in front of it wanting to get in.
Phoenix: Don’t forget the time in the yard.
Diablo: Now that was perfectly excusable. Three dogs came wandering out of the woods. The scratches on her face were an accident. The scar is barely noticeable.
Phoenix: Torn a hole in her pants too.
Diablo: Claws needed a trim.
Phoenix: About six months ago…
Diablo: Again, an accident. I was going after you.
Phoenix: I remember. But last night? There was no call for it.
Diablo: She wouldn’t let me have any more popcorn.
Phoenix: Four punctures in her left hand. She has a book signing on Thursday. There goes dinner.
Diablo: Does it look infected?
Diablo: I don’t know what overcame me.

Frozen
Diablo: Get underneath the covers. It’s toasty.
Phoenix: It has to be 25 degrees in here.
Diablo: I am underneath the covers and I would appreciate you not stepping on me.
Phoenix: Oh, that was you? I’m just trying to find the warm spot.
Diablo: I’m trying to sleep. It is going to be a long, dark, cold night. Your ears are going to freeze if you don’t get underneath.
Phoenix: If I keep walking all over her, she’ll get up and turn on the heat. And it keeps me warm.
Diablo: You are driving me crazy. Lay down or I’ll have to swat you a good one.
Phoenix: It will take you ten minutes to find your way out from underneath that nest of blankets.

Still Alive
Diablo: That was stupid.
Phoenix: I have to keep her on her toes. After all, several times yesterday she stood in the doorway and almost dared us to jump outside.
Diablo: Yeah, but there is a huge difference between parked in a campground and speeding down the highway. She was driving when you weaseled your way into the cab. Major no-no. And then you freaked out meowing your head off.
Phoenix: She didn’t appreciate it when I jumped up on the dashboard in her line of vision.
Diablo: Hell, I didn’t appreciate it. She was in the middle of six lanes of traffic during rush hour in Raleigh. Were you trying to kill us?
Phoenix: Trying to get a better view.
Diablo: I thought you were the smart one.
Phoenix: I didn’t think she would ever pull over.
Diablo: I quit looking as I was hiding underneath the bed covers.
