Burger Quote by Z. Rockward
““He slid her a skeptical look. “What is that?” She almost laughed at the suspicion in his face. “Food. Real food. Didn’t you eat?” He frowned. “Not any of that.” “You’re missing out. You can’t get anything like this out of a replicator.” “You can get anything out of a replicator.” She grinned and held up the burger. “Not like this. Not anything this juicy.””
