Q: This is your loan file. What do Mr. and Mrs. Fitzgerald do for a living?
A: I don't know. Open it up and find it.
Q: Look at your loan file and tell me.
A: Open it up and find it. I'm not your fucking bitch.
Q: Take a look at your loan application.
A: Do it yourself. Do it yourself. You want to do this in front of a judge. Would you prefer to [do] this in front of a judge? Then, shut the fuck up.
Q: Sir, take a look--
A: I'm taking a break. Fuck him. You open up the document. You want me to look at something, you get the document out. Earn your fucking money, asshole. Better get used to it. You'll retire when I'm done.

For some reason I have the Beatles song "Across the Universe" stuck in my head. However, for years and years and years I thought they were saying "kangaroo David" instead of "Jai guru deva om", so it is stuck in my head that way. Not only that I didn't realize it was the Beatles, I thought (because of the Kangaroo thing) it was sung by that australian gay man who married Liza Minnelli and had a musical about him made starring Hugh Jackman. Peter Allen.
Peter Allen.
Peter Allen.
Yes. I guess I remembered an amazing amount of things about him for hot actually remembering his name!
My only excuse is that I saw "The Boy From Oz" on Broadway. Crappy show. Totally worth it.

Exciting/disgusting fact I have learned: the father of the science of modern color-blindness, John Dalton, defined the condition in 1798 because he himself was not seeing colors properly.
He was definitively diagnosed as red/green color-blind (deuteranopic) 150 years later, because they did a DNA test on his preserved eyeball. WTF!
