Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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

Seriously. Bits and bytes everywhere.

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

Now we just need a game to play with the goat's head, and then we'll be using the whole goat.

How about soccer?

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Calvinball seems appropriate for a goat's head.

I love how it can last for days. It's like Quidditch only on horses instead of brooms and with only one ball that's actually a dead goat.

"he gave the children candy, the Dalai Lama said. But then the toddler stayed awake all night, "shouting, crying and moving."
