Special Topics in Calamity Physics, by Marisha Pessl
p. 214: “Where is everyone? Where’s Hannah?”
She made a face. “At her house. They’re making apple pie and watching Heaven and Earth. You guessed it. They ditched you.”

The future... seems to me no unified dream but a mince pie, long in the baking, never quite done.

November 9, 2008 - More evidence Barack will be the Pie President
The Daily Show
Jon Stewart (re: the friendly attitude amongst New Yorkers since the election): I'm literally afraid that someone on the street is going to invite me over for pie ... it's this weird spirit of something-or-other that's going on. I don't care for it.

The Wide Window, by Lemony Snicket
There are two kinds of fears: rational and irrational - or, in simpler terms, fears that make sense and fears that don't. For instance, the Baudelaire orphans have a fear of Count Olaf, which makes perfect sense, because he is an evil man who wants to destroy them. But if they were afraid of lemon meringue pie, this would be an irrational fear, because lemon meringue pie is delicious and would never hurt a soul.

The Song of the Mad Prince, by Walter de la Mare
Who said "Peacock Pie"?
The old king to the sparrow.
Who said "Crops are ripe"?
Rust to the harrow.

"Obama and Sweet Potato Pie", by Mark Danner, in The New York Times:
When Obama launched into his story with "Because I love pie," a woman out in that sea of cheering, laughing people shouted back, "I'll make you pie, baby!" and to the general hooting laughter the candidate returned, "Oh yeah, you gonna make me pie?" Then, after a beat, amid even more raucous laughter, and several other female voices shouting out invitations, "You gonna make me sweet potato pie? " More shouts and laughter. "All you gonna make me pie?"

When Harry Met Sally
Waitress: What can I get you?
Harry: I'll have the Number Three.
Sally: I'd like the chef salad, please, with the oil and vinegar on the side. And the apple pie a la mode....But I'd like the pie heated, and I don't want the ice cream on top. I want it on the side. And I'd like strawberry instead of vanilla if you have it. If not, then no ice cream, just whipped cream, but only if it's real. If it's out of a can, then nothing.
Waitress: Not even the pie?
Sally: No, just the pie. But then not heated.
Waitress: Uh-huh.
