"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And the place they went to eat dinner playing spanish language tv, it made her furious

Don't they hear Spanish in Texas?

I'm glad I only had to reject the Catholic Church. There's a long tradition to that, and it's more comic than tragic.

Emmett has already taken up an atheistic position, though that doesn't seem to be helping with his bouts of existential angst.

He's got cancer. Pancreas? I think that's it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Perkins, he's had pancreatic cancer for about the last year -- which, on the whole "Fuck Cancer" scale, is way out on the more fuckety end.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And he just went into the hospital with pneumonia (?).
