There will be a quotation from a well-known book... preferably fictional literature of some kind. Guess the book right, and the guesser may post their own favorite quote for another person to guess.
Replace any character names with other things so you do not give the book away too easily. You are allowed to use "..." and "[]" to take out any other information from the quote that might give away too much.
If the book is not guessed in 7 days since the quote's posting, a new person may assign a new quotation, disregarding the last one.
Here it goes...
"It must be nice to live like a vegetable."
"It's lousy."
"No, it must be very pleasant to be free from all this doubt and pressure. I think I'd like to live like a vegetable and make no important decisions."
"What kind of vegetable?"
"A cucumber or a carrot."
"What kind of cucumber? A good one or a bad one?"
"Oh, a good one, of course."
"They'd cut you off in your prime and slice you up for a salad."
***'s face fell. "A poor one, then."
"They'd let you rot and use you for fertilizer to help the good ones grow."
