CarLo Quote of the Moment
Carly: Mmm. This is fabulous.
Lorenzo: Well, I'm glad you're enjoying it.
Carly: Mmm-hmm. Are you going to eat all of that?
Lorenzo:Help yourself...You know, this place used to feel so empty--kind of like the rest of my life.
Carly: I know. I hate eating alone, too.
Lorenzo: It's kind of how loneliness works, isn't it? The little things?
Carly: Mmm.
Lorenzo: A meal, a sunset--how to spend your evening. Carly, before we met I was thinking about going into business with my brother.
Carly:Yeah? What kind of business is that?
Lorenzo: He's a criminal.
Carly: Yeah, right. That's funny.
