Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

There's "Never try to teach a pig to sing; it just frustrates you, and it annoys the pig."
