Famous quotes containing the word fred:
“For me, its enough! Theyve been here long enoughmaybe too long. Its a funny thing, though. All these years Fred was too busy to have much time for the kids, now hes the one whos depressed because theyre leaving. Hes really having trouble letting go. He wants to gather them around and keep them right here in this house.”
