Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wow. Sweet, Tom.

Hmmph. I wonder how long they've been broken.

Sara, I'm sorry to hear about your woes. It's nice and cool and breezy here, but we'll probably catch on fire any moment anyway.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Poor sarameg. I hope they fix it soon.

I want something exciting to happen this weekend, and I don't mean in the "have to take Ozzie to the vet and then deal with him afterwards" way.

Anyone want to go to Vegas?

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

but we'll probably catch on fire any moment anyway.

Run for the hills! LA is full of Spinal Tap drummers!

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

You could, you know, try calling them and speaking to a human being. I hear that works for some people.

NO. NO FIXING. REPLACING.

This unit is done.done.done. This has been ongoing in one form or another for two years. They fix one thing, another breaks. Time to go.

Hmm. It's an idea.

Well, not from work, anyway.

I really should have eaten lunch.

Actually, it's been 3 years. But the first year was when I had to turn the compressor off at the breakbox. Jesus. I wonder how many hours I've spent in that office, bitching at people.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I used the Mafia as a metaphor for U.S. foreign policy. I may have mentioned Tony Soprano. This resulted in a complaint that I was contributing to anti-Italian stereotypes. I had not thought of this. To tell the truth I had worried more about using a hackneyed and stale comparison. Would most Italian-Americans consider this an insulting comparison?
