Getting away with a lie may be a good magic trick... But honesty works wonders. Vinnie and I started out in opposite directions and ended up in the same place: The truth.

Thanksgiving. Had Turkey and Pumpkin pie. Granpa ate Crow. Dad sampled the fruits of victory. Vinnie tasted sweet sadisfaction. I hope the leftovers last all year.

Doctor Doogie died. Candace is going to live. Good trade... his death for her life.

I had my dream again last night. Being a seventeen- year- old doctor is a monster. But the dream taught me that the monster can't hurt me as long as we keep dancing. Feet don't fail me now.

Why am I busting my butt as a doctor while Wanda is strolling down the Champs Elysees? Maybe if I knew a little less, I'd have time to live a little more. Even when you're a genius, life's a mystery.

I could've made love tonight... but I didn't. Now i know why... I love someone else.

Wanda and I broke up tonight. If I don't love her anymore, why do I feel so sad?

It's a hollow victory that comes at someone else's experience... I wish I'd understood that a week ago.

I never tought of myself as prejudiced against black people... but after last night, I think I might have to rethink what I thought.

There's nothing better than being cool and having a lot of friends... except being uncool and having one real friend.

Fathers and sons... When we're little we want to be just like them. When we're teenagers we want nothing to do with them. When we're adults we end up just like them.

Tank Seranski vs. Kid Howser. Tank gave me a black eye, a bloody nose and broke my hand. It was no contest. I killed him.

I met a really fascinating person this week ...My mother. Go figure.

Jealousy. You never outgrow it. As Bogey might have said... The only thing worse than a jealous lover is a slug from a .44... Then again, there's nothing better.

I guess Joe E. Dunn was right -- The best prize of all is knowing that winning isn't always a victory and losing isn't always a defeat.
