I thought perhaps the looking ill was part of the desperateness of his character. Plus, he was just finishing a whirlwind European book tour. I'm hoping it was an intentional paart of his character and he's not really ill or something.
Just keep walking, preacher-man.

I saw him on Letterman last week and he looked okay.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Good to hear, Maysa.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Dustin Hoffman's character in the Graduate annoys me, for instance, even though a lot of people relate to him
No, I can go with that. I mean, I love the movie, LOVE IT, but his character is just so aimless and clueless . . . .

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
his character is just so aimless and clueless . . . .His own fault, for failing to appreciate plastics.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
His own fault, for failing to appreciate plastics.
I really don't get why that line is so famous. I finally saw the movie a couple months ago, and I thought it would be a big deal, but it's just this random throwaway line that's never followed up on. I don't get it.

It's, like, all symbolic of the artificiality of corporate culture and of our society as a whole 'n' stuff....
I think that "plastic" had more of a negative connotation then.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Pardon the sudden delurk, but is there really going to be a Highlander movie with Methos in 2005, or were y'all inadvertantly yanking my chain?
Becuase I'll pay to see it, even though I'll cringe as I buy my popcorn, knowing it will suck. Alas.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
