For starters they think that this place is just a fairy tale. Like a legend, like we’re all just characters in a story.
Evidence doesn’t win the day. Jurors go with the narrative that makes sense. We’re here to tell a story. Our job is to tell that story better than the other side tells theirs.

A good story always trumps the truth.
You never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
You know why America loves a crime story? Because America is a crime story.
We’re storytellers, meaning-makers. It’s our only superpower.
We’re really just a collection of stories we’ve told ourselves.
We told each other all kinds of stories. Some of them were true. Most were not. It didn’t matter. Tall tales, music, laughter, good Irish whiskey… We all needed something to help us climb back into that plane and do it all again.
We tell the stories of the past to change our future.
We tell and listen to stories. Our stories connect us.[to Melech]
