Well, it seems to me that the best relationships -
the ones that last -
are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship.

Like a switch has been flicked somewhere.
And the person who was just a friend is...
suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.

people of different faiths in Lake Wobegon,
and that's probably one reason why we get along so very well.

the same way that you do that there is
friction and trouble between people.

when people each feel slightly superior towards the other one.
