Kiernan: i think that black people have a special gland in their brain that makes them do crime
Carter:
Carter: i meant about carrie

King: ok maybe the roster for this collection is a little guy heavy
King: but, you know, maybe guys have some interesting thoughts about a story heavy on mother-daughter relationship issues and menstrual themes?
Carter:
King: it's possible!

Carter: ok fine, i would like to hear some of these interesting thoughts that you men have on carrie
Bentley Little: did you ever think that maybe you should change the title from "Carrie" to "The Carrie?"
Carter:
King:
King: you know what, i'll take that under advisement
Carter: don't do that

King: c'mon guys don't let me down! Tell me your deep thoughts about Carrie!
King: people want to know what you think of this story of a psychic teenage girl
Richard Chizmar: psychic girl? wait, girls can do that?
Mick Garris: whoa thats bad ass
Josh Boone: this changes everything!

Chizmar: this whole time, i didn't know girls were psychic
Garris: that explains why they're always setting things on fire with their minds
Chizmar: yeah i was wondering about that
Boone: everything makes sense now
Little: guys i really think it would be better if it was "THE carrie"

Chizmar: [reading carrie] whoa whoa whoa
Chizmar: what's all this menstruation stuff?
Carter: [whispers in chizmar's ear]
Chizmar: EVERY MONTH?!?!?!
Chizmar: holy shit
Chizmar: that's metal
Garris: what are you talking about, i want to know too!

Garris: and blood comes out WHERE??
Carter: [whispers in garris's ear]
Garris: ha ha gross!
Little: this doesn't sound real, i think you're making this all up

Carter: ok so show of hands
Carter: do any other men here need the concept of menstruation explained to them?
Poppy Z Brite: no i think i'm clear
