Famous quotes by Mike Wright:

"She's saying that she was raped by her father, he threatened her, he threatened her and her mother if she told anyone."
"He stated his wife was having chemo treatments for breast cancer. She wasn't around the house a lot and he was 'lonely', was the word he used."
"This tells a lot about the company's attitude toward safety. They clearly didn't learn much since March 23."
"The workers in the plant, the public and certainly the victims and their families really deserve to know everything that OSHA found before some of it was traded away behind closed doors."
"We expect our results for the remainder of the year to be in line with the earnings per share range that Wall Street is carrying for the second half of the year, representing another record year of double-digit sales and earnings per share growth,"
"All I knew was nobody came up to me to pull me in the office, so I had good feelings about it, but I was just waiting to see if my stuff was still in my locker."
"That's all I wanted. That's what everybody wants, a chance to reach their final goal."
"Gibbs is our money free throw shooter. Down the stretch, there's not a guy on the team I'd rather have with the basketball in his hands than him. He's got ice in his veins and knocks those free throws down."
"We've won three games in a row with Cocke County up Monday and we've got a little momentum, which is what we're looking for heading into the district run."
"California is getting very serious about this age group and restrictions. The reason is that it saves lives."

Until You Come Back To Me (That’s What I’m Gonna D

by: Miki Howard

Oh…ho…oh…oh…
Oh…ooh…
So you don't wanna talk to me
Just don't even call me anymore
Though you don't call me anymore
I sit and wait in vain
I guess I'll rap on your door
Tap on your window pane
I wanna tell you, baby
The changes I've been goin' through
Missin' you, missin' you
Until you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do
Why did you have to decide
You had have to set me free, baby
I guess I'll swallow my pride
Beggin' you, baby, baby, baby, please see me
I'm gonna walk by myself
Just to prove my love is true, whoa, for you, baby
Until you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do
Living without you might be
Livin' in a world of constant tears
Hear my please, I've got to make you see
Our love is dying
Oh, boy, your phone you ignore, somehow I must
Somehow I must, I must explain
I guess I'll rap on your door
Tap on your window pane
And I'm gonna sit by your steps
Until I get through to you
I've got to show it to you, baby
Until you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do, babe
Until you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do, my love, my love, my love
Until you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna rap on your door
Tap on your window pane, baby, baby
I'm gonna rap on your door
Tap on your, tap on your, tap on your, tap on your window
I'm gonna rap on your door
Tap on your window pane
I'm gonna rap on your door
Tap on your window pane
I'm gonna rap on your door
Rat-tat knock-knock on your window pane
I'll be there, I'll be there day and night
I'll be there night and day
Oh, I'm gonna rap on your pane
