Time Quote by Rachel Butler
““Did everyone have their Wheaties this morning? ‘Cause it’s time to gift wrap Chubs here and carry him outside.” Everyone groaned except Maria, who flashed a simpering smile. “I’m a girl. I don’t lift bodies.” “Bullshit,” Flint retorted. “I’ve seen you bench-press your own weight.” Maria turned. “Honey, I can bench-press your weight, but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna help.””
