Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

"I love my dead, gay son."

Often with some other word in place of "son".

"Did you eat a brain tumor for breakfast?"

Also good. It just reminded me of a Governator quote I use even though I've never seen the movie (must be said in Ah-nuld!voice): "It's not a too-mah!!!!"

Which joins "I'll be bahk", "You're a funny guy Sully; that's why I'll kill you last" (and it's companion "Remember when I said I'd kill you last? I lied.") on that particular list.

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

Princess Bride and The Simpsons get a lot of play at our house. Also Buffy & Angel, but that's more cadence/syntax than actual quotes most of the time. I also have a tendency to quote Animaniacs without realizing it until the words are out of my mouth.

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

I also have a tendency to quote Animaniacs without realizing it until the words are out of my mouth.

I'm probably humming along to "Wheel of Morality" in my head as I watch certain denouements on certain shows.

Okay, when Ted is blathering some sentimental voiceover crap on HIMYM.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

WS, thank you for the pep talk! We are going to a dealership, so we'll definitely do some research on the car beforehand to know what a reasonable price might be.

I think I'd feel easier about it if we were buying from some guy's backyard; the idea of bargaining in a place as "official" as a car dealership somehow feels totally weird to me. But I think I just have to get over that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Kate, bargaining is totally what happens at car dealerships. As far as I know, never having bought a car. But remember the general rule of bargaining: start low.

Because books.

Oh, Animal House. Yeah, lots of those quotes around here, too.
