I don't know if this would go in Movies or Boxed Set or whatever, so it's going here.
I'm watching The Stand for the first time. I had no idea it was so Jesus-y.
Wash: Captain, didn't you know kissin' girls makes you sleepy? Mal: Well sometimes I just can't help myself.

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

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.
I always thought one point of the Stand was that God was as big a monster as the Devil.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
For the fizzy water people, are you using bottled water or tap water?
I use tap water that goes through my Brita.
What is in tonic that makes a diet version necessary?
Sugar. Soda levels of sugar.

Me too. That way it's also cold enough to drink right away. Though I'll toss in some straight tap water if the Brita doesn't have enough in it.

How is there sugar in tonic water? It is literally the bitterest thing I have ever tasted!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
What kind of car? What show?
Cruze. Only Kidding!
(Not kidding about the car, that's the name of the show)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Cruze. Only Kidding!
Very cool, on both accounts!
Driving home from TJs just now, there was a full sized hook and ladder truck stopped at a stop sign at one of the cross streets. The nearest car behind me was at least half a block away, and seemed to be keeping to the 25 MPH speed limit, so there was no danger he would hit me, so I stopped and waved the fire truck on, even though I clearly had the right of way.
I think the guy behind me was having a bad day, because he started honking at me.
To be fair, I think he didn't realize why I was stopped at first, because the honk was pretty short, and he kind of waved at me when he stopped behind me, but still, seriously dude--how do you not notice the full size hook and ladder that was in the intersection before you honked?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ha. I have to tell this jackass story on myself. I drive a lot of country roads late at night. It's common courtesy to dim your brights, and almost everybody does it. But one night I was coming home from rehearsal, tired and cranky and headachey. And I almost never do this, but the oncoming car had its high lights on and I flashed my lights at it to make it dim them. It did, right away. And then got close enough for me to realize it was an ambulance. With a patient in the back being worked on. Gee, Liese, you think maybe they might be better off SAVING SOMEONE'S LIFE than worrying about just how close they are to you before they dim their brights? Hee. Oops.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
