Given the amount of sugar he supposedly eats, I bet Jared does smell like maple syrup.
And hey! Jersey doesn't always smell bad. Hmph.
We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

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.
The only reason I know Newark is in NJ is that my late father was born there.
Also to Erika: though you have not nagged, I did promise to read your script - volunteered unasked. I will get to it as soon as possible. Deadlines happened, illnesses happened. so I'm sorry and it is on the list.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My mother's boss teaches high school and did not know Newark is in New Jersey. Now, to be fair, I'm watching Brick City right now AIFG, and I'm a Philip Roth fan besides so I know about it, for never being there. But that's pretty dumb, is it not? I think she bought her diploma on the interwebs.
When my Mom, who grew up in Florida, went to college in Missouri and had never heard of Newark. She'd hear people from the north east saying "Newark" and thought that was just how they pronounced "New York".

Dude, I know I'm not William Goldman. I like my script, but it's not, like, a loss to the form that you had to wait. If you're going to be a while about though, maybe I should send you a Celtx PDF because you won't have to put up with my icky typing. R. is constantly asking my mother things that make me wonder if she can read in English...I guess that might not be one, though. It can be hard to tell.

There's also a Newark, Delaware, but they pronounce it the way it's spelled, not "Nerk".

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Newark is pronounced the way it's spelled!
Just very quickly.

Newark NJ is NEW-erk. Newark DE is New-Ark. I've heard Newark NJ get slurred to something like NEW-uck or NEW-ick, but never Nerk.

Snerk.
Hil, I rode trains in and out of that station for years. Believe me, it's closer to Nerk than New-erk.
There's a reason it's sometimes called Down Neck.
