"Not being able to leave is going to make wanting to take a vacation frigging hard," Coop said idly. He still didn't like to think too much about not being able to leave because it reminded him too much of Surf City, of walls that tried to look inviting but were suffocating and impenetrable. You could try and escape but you never ever succeeded. If you tried in Surf City, you were either tossed in solitary or beaten up. If you tried here, you just ended up looking stupid.

"Duly noted," Coop said, nodding once Newt had explained the chaos that he was about to meet. "A dog jumping on me's not going to be the worst thing to ever happen. I've had a lot worse things try and jump at me. Mostly they just ruin my shirt or get disappointed when I don't live up to their standards. I'll do my best to avoid a staring contest with Cat too. Wouldn't want to turn into stone. It'd really ruin my social life."
