Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

At work. No ice. Maybe can elevate, but really don't want to extend my knee.

I realize going out to get an ice pack would require walking. Can you get someone to make a drugstore run? Can you steal something from a refrigerator?

I am alone in the office today, in the basement, three levels below ground.

I'll be fine. I'll just, you know, be walking funny all day.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My co-workers are looking at me as if I just created life out of the primordial ooze.

You should demand a statue built in your honor!

You concern me.

I'm going to die of boredom today if I don't manage to accidentally kill myself first.

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

Bah. Almost got hit by a car. What makes it especially annoying is I predicted the possibility of the driver's stupidity seconds before he actually did it, and was watching for it, but he still almost hit me anyway....

Okay, everyone in Chicago, strap some pillows to your extremities and GO HOME. You're worrying me.

Was there wailing and rending of clothing?
