Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Jennifer Connelly is a fucking goddess. And by the way I look nothing like her, except, you know, we both have brown hair.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Nuh uh. You're the prettiest.

It's true.

And by the way I look nothing like her, except, you know, we both have brown hair.

Your smile is way better.

Oh -- as usual -- dear.

I've just been informed that someone "borrowed" a paragraph of my (original) writing for a short story, and subsequently has won a large cash prize and trip to a writing workshop.

I don't know how I'm supposed to feel about that, or how the hell I'm supposed to react.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I don't know how I'm supposed to feel about that, or how the hell I'm supposed to react.

shrift smash?

Imagine how satisfying it will be to turn them in.

Shrift, I think you should let the prize committee know.

David, you are a charming liar. I mean that in the best way.

Our wings are not tired.

I don't know how I'm supposed to feel about that, or how the hell I'm supposed to react.

Pissed off. Bust them.

No, the person who borrowed it is telling me, and asking me what I would like to do. High school student.

Which, well.

This is a very odd way to achieve validation.

Huh? Did they have a flash of conscience or what?

Now tagless for your comfort.

No, the person who borrowed it is telling me, and asking me what I would like to do. High school student.

It's time to learn the hard lessons about plagerism.

I'm getting the pig!

Um... shouldn't the telling/asking happen *before* submitting the story? I'd want a cut of the prize money. A substantial cut.
