Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Conversation between me and Tom:

me: the board has also advanced Baltimore as an option...

Tom: (immediately) No.

me: why, the weather?

Tom: I don't know. (pause) maybe after it's been a little longer since I read the book Homicide ? I know, it's not fair.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Thanks Consuela, but he really wants just a plain cheesecake. I think I might try the Settlement Cookbook, it has what looks like a good basic recipe. Making it today because his birthday is tomorrow.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Chicago is diverse, with public transit and good beer. We do have real winters though.

Yeah, Chicago is off the list for that reason. Sadly. (I love Chicago)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Many of our grocery stores have British Foods sections!

And it's $$$, but the pay tends to reflect that, especially for a software engineer.

Tom thinks the talent pool in Seattle will make it impossible to get a job. I think he has little faith in himself. (He's really good at what he does.) I think he's nervous about being a small fish in a big pond, which is sort of the opposite of New Orleans.

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.

Wait, stop trying to woo them away from Cincinnati!

WE HAVE GRAETERS.
