“Jonah Byrde: Y'know, in third grade, we learned about the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. There are like 600 acres and on the grounds there's this building called the Hall for Prayer for Good Harvests. It's circled by this thing called the Echo Wall. Wendy Byrde: Ok, ok. Jonah Byrde: You can go there and even when people are whispering you just hear the same things repeated over and over and over. Wendy Byrde: Ok, enough. You wanna be a smartass? You want to hate me? Fine.”
