Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

I am doing nothing but making calls in between work meetings trying to wrangle insurance, and then once that's under control, I get to move on to wrangling the move since I just got the assessment & quote.

Do I really need to get $500,000 liability? I don't think I do, right?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm trying to imagine scenarios where you'd need that much insurance. Like you accidentally drop a fridge on a dinner guest?

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

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

You accidentally build a nuclear reactor?

This reminds me of the topic that came up at lunch: Improbable Subjects for Broadway Musicals. Our inaugural one was The Tenerife Airport Disaster.

One of the first times I went to New York, among the promos the hotel channel played every 10 minutes or so was for the musical "Titanic."

The topic came up because my lunch partner had once attended a play which was re-enactments of the transcripts of cockpit voice recorders from famous plane crashes. But NOT in musical format.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

From the Shit I didn't say file:

The reason I kept asking if you wanted me to send the email for you is I had a feeling you were going to ask the wrong question, and guess what? YOU ASKED THE WRONG FRICKING QUESTION.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Do I really need to get $500,000 liability?

That does seem excessive. Not sure why you'd need more on an apartment than I have on my house. Are you solely responsible if the building falls on someone?
