DAPHNE: Hey! Hey there, little one! Don’t be shy! What’s the matter? What’s the matter, little baby deer?

GORDY [[a fawn]]: Oh, you know?every day I’m increasingly angry at myself for being unable to fulfill the promises I whisper into my pillow in the dead of night

GORDY: “Tomorrow,” I insist. “Finally, TOMORROW will be the day. Mark down today, for it is during this sleep that the old you dies. Tomorrow will be DIFFERENT. At last.”

DAPHNE: You have a pillow?
GORDY: Well I’m not a savage
