I have no flaws. Other than my occasional overindulgence in humility.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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

I'm beginning a catalog list of my flaws. Judgmental is right there at the top. Followed by impatient. Impatient isn't my tragic flaw, but like a doorman it sure holds a door open for the rest of them.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Betsy Hanes Perry:
If your mother didn't punish you for saying it, it doesn't count.
Steph:
That means nothing counts for me.
Right fucking ON, man!
Right buggering damn sodding hell ON, man!

Matt the Bruins Fan:
I remember having professional standards at one time... now it's more along the lines of "well, I won't feel it necessary to change my name and leave the country if things go out this way."

If I only had a brain...
Erica: Fay,you know "shag" is a carpet here, right? Also a dance from the 60s, and (Hi, Hec) a haircut.
Billytea: I'm still waiting to discover that in America, 'Bugger me sideways with a fish fork' is a brand of moccasin or something.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
Steph in Bitches:
On top of that, I just asked incompetent!boss the same question 3 times -- the exact same wording each time -- and got the following answers:
Me: "[Printer] needs these files in XML?"
I!B: "No."
Me: "[Printer] needs these files in XML?"
I!B: "I don't know what you mean."
Me: "[Printer] needs these files in XML?"
I!B: "Yes, of course."
And then I figured it out. Incompetent!boss IS MegaHAL.

In Bitches:
Steph: Okay, folks. I need to write something for class tomorrow. Throw out some ideas.
Betsy: Childhood memories are always a goldmine. Write about the first time you ever plagiarized somebody else's essay.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
In Bitches:
Fay(?): wrod. Like "Drat" comes from "God Rot Ye".
billytea: Yeah. And 'Zounds!' comes from 'God's wounds', and 'Zoinks!' from 'God's... oinks...' Um.

Mo' Bitches:
Rebecca Lizard: Now I am a big pile of mollifiedness.
Teppy: I'm picturing a pile of mollifiedness, and I'm seeing peach, with shadings of rosy pink and orange.
