Shallow Grave, Danny Boyle's first movie, with Ewan MacGregor. (eta: iirc, they don't actually kill the new guy, he just dies)
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
One of the actors you don't remember? A very young Ewan Mcgregor.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Tom, if you pop back in today on a break or whatever, I'll try and call you around lunchtime so we can make dinner plans.
We break for lunch in 30 minutes - I'll turn my cell on then.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Okay, I've become a desperate person. Does the following make any sense in Spanish? I've been driven to online translators, but the result doesn't appear too insane to me:
No, no deseo participar en la Operación Round Up.
Sí, quisiera renovar mi participación en la Operación Round Up.
Ningún cambio.

Trust my rage
Ginger - I think the first one makes sense, although I would have probably said no quiero. But deseo might be more proper.
What are the 2nd two supposed to be in English, again?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Sí, quisiera renovar mi participación en la Operación Round Up.
"Yes, I wish to renew my participation in Operation Round Up"?
(Not that my understanding has any bearing on how it would look to an actual Spanish-speaking person, but it's not so far off that it's uncomprehensible, anyway.)

I highly recommend this method of coping.
Well, it is cold outside, and I am kind of responsible for this mess, even though we were slammed like slammolia last week and these are all people who called or e-mailed with stuff like "so-and-so gave me your number, and I was wondering if you could help me out..." and I lost my point somewhere.
One groveling e-mail sent. Must rest up before I grovel again.
It's much easier to faux-grovel electronically while grumbling underneath my breath and listening to death metal. Rather more difficult to faux-grovel on my francophone, as I cannot seem to beat the insincerity out of my voice with a dead horse or my Swingline stapler.

Here is what the phrases are supposed to say:
No, I do not wish to participate in Operation Round Up.
Yes, I would like to renew my participation in Operation Round Up.
No change
(No, I don't usually do things in such a slapstick fashion. This particular project just showed up at the 11th hour and I'm scrambling.)
