Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm out of fizz! I don't know how to drink anymore! I guess I do have to leave the house tomorrow.
I hope Sass gets home safely.

I don't know how to drink anymore!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Come home, Sass!
ION, it sounds like there won't be a gov't shutdown after all:
Sounds like the Republicans have given up on the Planned Parenthood and EPA riders....

Somewhat relatedly, here's a good strategy when you're caught telling a blatant lie:
Kyl Walks Back Planned Parenthood Claim: It ‘Was Not Intended To Be A Factual Statement’
As ThinkProgress reported earlier today, Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) defended Republicans’ willingness to shut down the government over funding for Planned Parenthood by falsely claiming that abortion is “well over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does.” In reality, just three percent of its work is related to abortion. This afternoon, CNN brought on Planned Parenthood’s Judy Tabar to discuss his comment. During the interview, CNN anchor Don Lemon relayed a statement from Kyl’s office walking back the comment, claiming the statement was not meant to be “factual”:
LEMON: We did call his office trying to ask what he was talking about there. And I just want to give it you verbatim here. It says, ‘his remark was not intended to be a factual statement, but rather to illustrate that Planned Parenthood, a organization that receives millions of dollars in taxpayer funding, does subsidize abortions.’

Another version of shorter Kyl: I lied, but didn't mean to get caught.
