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
Cashmere: Kara is going to grow up to have her own talk show. Or possibly be the Queen of Everything.

Shrift:
Client: I need these files.
Me: Those files don't exist.
Client: So when can I get them?
Me: As I mentioned in our previous communication, they do not exist.
Client: Hi, I'm just checking on the status of my request?
Me: I'm on some new reality show, right? "When Natural Selection Fails to Intervene!" You, I suspect, should have ended up in the belly of a bear.
Calli:
Me: The files are on [this server here].
Client: According to my network, that server doesn't exist.
Me: Kinda like those files.

Bob Bob gets COMMed on his first day, relaying a phone message to bon bon in Natter:
Brent: I'm not inviting Pat to my wedding because he cheated with your brother's girlfriend when they were still dating. Also, he always treated me like shit. And he just says whatever the New York Times says. Me: You know, he asked about you. Brent: What'd he say? Me: That he hadn't heard from you for awhile, and he wondered if you were mad at him. Brent: You know, the truth is, I just lost his number. Tell him to give me a call.
And so a friendship is repaired.

I should not be allowed to go into home improvement stores unsupervised. A quick stop for a few things turns into endless wandering around the store going, "Ooooh. That's so cool."
Tell me about it.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
