Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I hope the cars speak. Annoying. Elevator. Voices. With sarcastic, snarky timing.

"Oh, dear," they should say. "Another dangerous curve."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Remember back in the good old days (i.e. the '80s) when cars talked?
A door is ajar. A door is ajar.
And then my friend would say, "A door is not a jar; a door is a door."
Wait - I'm glad we don't have talking cars anymore.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Judging by the level of Impala-obsession and truck-love in SPN fandom, I don't think the vehicles need to speak to have character.

The talking car approach is treading in dangerous territory—if a show features talking cars and the vocal talents of Larry the Cable Guy, my own mother being showrunner wouldn't motivate me to watch.

Or, you know, Marvin the robot style whinging.
Or "I can't do that Dave."

I do this still...
re: Sunday/Monday, maybe there isn't a strong lineup on that Sunday evening, so they figure they'll catch some of the "24 crowd", or people that are looking for something to watch. Then they'll come back for Monday night.

My friend's car (or rather it's alarm) would tell people "Please step away from the vehicle." Then, "If you do not step away from the vehicle..." I can't remember what it said after that, because most people stepped away.

The fault with those sorts of alarms is that there wasn't the option to record your own statements. "If you do not step away from the vehicle, the zombies will be released in 30 seconds" probably would have been better than whatever the actual alarm said.
