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.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Yeah, vowels are friends. See under: I welcome you to my world, where shit and sheet are pronounced the same.

(I pronounce Erin and Aaron slightly different - very different if I'm speaking Hebrew where Aaron becomes Aharon, but the Mary/merry/marry is not gonna happen).

I know Jewish parents who named their girls Trinity and Bridget.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I pronounce Aaron sort of without a Rochester accent and Erin with a Rochester accent.

I cannot find a good example of my accent online. But sort of like Chicago or Detroit.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Erin with a Rochester accent.

That's like, stretched out to four or five vowels, right? Eeehhhhaaarrrin.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Aaron is like arrow.

Erin is like heir.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Trudy pronounces them the way I do (unsurprising considering we both grew up in Morris County).

I got corrected by a woman whose name was spelled Carline, which I pronounced Carleen. She, being from Rhode Island, pronounced it Colleen.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You've lived in Rhode Island long enough to know the only R allowed there is the one at the beginning of the name!
