Quotes
Ezekiel 'Books' Figuero: I wanna be your man, Mylene. I know you like me. I like you so much, I can't hardly breathe. I like you so much, I feel like I got thunder and lightning inside of me. You make me nervous. But you also make me calm. Real calm. Calm almost like how God must be calm, you know, Mylene? Calm from loving. I love you. Mylene, I love you. What do you think about that? I don't mean to be conceited or nothing. You know I'm not like that anyway. But if you see how you're looking at me right now, that ain't the look of someone who don't like someone. So, come on. What do you say? Hm?
