So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Has this Doyle/Watson thing been around forever? I just heard about it the other day and now everyone is using it.

And this.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Oh, DC. You know how to get me to never leave you.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Is that supposed to be Harley? Because THAT'S NOT HER.
