• •

  "For me, I've always had a love for Boston ever since I met Glen."

• •

  "And so as we pull up, there's a f@!#ing Humvee parked under a tree, and then Glen is sitting on his ass leaning up against the tire reading a book with a 10-gallon f@!#ing sombrero hat on."

• •

  "I remember then with Shane coming down for Glen's wedding down in Mexico and loading up the trucks and just being like, what a f@!#ing eclectic mashup of people; all these ski bums, a bunch of sarcastic Boston guys, and Navy folks all just in a blender."

• •

  “I don't know what kind of weird Jedi s#!t Glen did, but he managed to laugh and interact with him in a way that the dude was like, ah, man, don't even fucking worry about it."
