Me: You don't get as upset. You self therapize. Lisa: Is that like self-soothing, or a self-cleaning bathroom? Me: How about a self-cleaning oven, or a perpetual motion machine, or one of those little dolphins that jumpt through the hoop over and over again? Did you ever have one of those, the little silver whirring instruments? Lisa: No, but I've seen them. I had the balls on the strings. Me: When they talk about the little silver whirring instruments on Dumbledore's desk, I picture a bunch of dolphins jumping through hoops-- and then Harry throws them, and that's just sad.
