// quote generator here, you want to
// create a simple function that prompts
// upon clicking 1 of 9 crew buttons
// and have the function return a randomly
// selected string from an array, appropriately
// returning a quote that matches the character clicked.


// okay idea here. 9 characters. click on any of them, 1 quote pops up
// in a space and border of character color is highlighted


// variables that store all quotes in arrays
