Quotes

Jack, how long have you been cleaning our windows?
Since I was nine.
Since you were nine years old-? That changes our dynamic intensely.

- Tom and AJ

There’s only three things in life that are certain. Death, taxes, and your windows get dirty.

- Luke

Again to- as I’ve said before, you’ve got a very see-through home. And I wanted to talk about your lovemaking again. If you could just turn the lights off, it would really help the neighbourhood.

- Tom

Take me to your liberry.
My liberry?
You have a liberry?
Do you mean lychee berries?
No.
It’s pronounced library, Jack. Do you want to see the library?

- AJ and Tom

Roses are red Violets are blue
You are educated And so are you
Signed, The Most Handsome Window Cleaner

- AJ

People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones
But neither should people in stone houses accept bank loans
If you want to clean the windows to see what’s on the other side
Know that then you’ll have no safe place to hide
(How many lines are left?)
Whatever you do, my son you’ll be
Remember, wash, learn, whatever, just be free
Signed, The Most Handsome Window Washer

- Tom
