Yes, some people are crazier than me. Good to know.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Problems in Philly or LA?
LA. We're staying put.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Yes, definitely. When is good for you?
Lessee. I am going to work out until seven; and someone is coming over at eight. Perhaps between then?
How about I call around 7:15?

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

Eating gold always seems like such a waste.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Um, wasn't swallowing gold lumps an accepted form of suicide for Chinese aristocrats?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Eating gold always seems like such a waste.
Yeah. Except that it will later give you the opportunity to shout, "Look at me - I'm shitting gold!"

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Date planned for this Saturday. Weather forecast says it'll be a sunny day, so I'm taking my date to Zoo Twilights. The Melbourne Zoo has a live band on from 6:30, and stays open till 9:30. I figure we get there about 5:00, and I'll bring a picnic-friendly dinner.

That doesn't seem like it would work. Gold's all non-reactive.

and google says no, it's just an expression:
To be allowed to commit suicide, and not to suffer the indignity of a public execution, is a privilege sometimes extended to a high official whose life has become forfeit under circumstances which do not call for special degradation. A silken cord is forwarded from the Emperor to the official in question, who at once puts an end to his life, though not necessarily by strangulation. He may take poison, as is usually the case, and this is called "swallowing gold." For a long time it was believed that Chinese high officials really did swallow gold, which in view of its non-poisonous character gave rise to an idea that gold-leaf was employed, the leaf being inhaled and so causing suffocation.

Ah. S'what I get for working from memory. Still, evocative, and it's kept me from drinking GoldSchlager.
