Asked Quote by Julie James
““What? I took it because of the girls in the class. Anyway, I see a bit of a P and P dynamic going on between you and Payton." J.D. didn't think he wanted to know. Really. But he asked anyway. " P and P ?" Tyler shot him a look, appalled. "Uh, hello-- Pride and Prejudice ?" His tone said only a cretin wouldn't know this. "Oh right, P and P ," J.D. said. "You know, Tyler, you might want to pick up your balls--I think they just fell right off when you said that.””
