Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

I know MM wants "God's Comic" by Elvis Costello played at his funeral. I do too, but recently there have been other songs I wanted more.

Unfortunately, I just can't remember what songs they are at the moment, as I've had only about three hours of fitfull sleep.

Jesse, exactly.

Lee! Oh, yes, of course! Thank you! How wonderful of you to ask, too!

They were absolutely adorable, both of them. The expression on Emmett's face, and that little bundle, and - oh, thank you so much for sharing those.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I don't want a funeral. I want to be cremated and then I want an Irish Wake. Music and drinking and stories.

You can have a funeral (or at least a viewing) and still be creamated, Aims.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm with Aimée.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It was a 737, actually. (Nit-picky, but the 737 is much smaller.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Mom wants "Will the Circle be Unbroken" and she wants Arlo Guthrie singing it.

Since I don't know Arlo we'll probably have to go with a recording.
