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

And Cindy's suggestion was to build in some amount of time after the season finale before the next season stuff was free for discussion, to make sure that end of season talk doesn't get curtailed.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Lets make any reasonable conccessions to the virgins we can. Four. Because if we are going to wait three, one more week is no big deal.

I really think this needs to be it's own proposal, all by itself. I really dislike the idea of attatching a rider to something around here.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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

We're already editing it, Sean.

If Jim were here (and should he show up) I'd be asking him to do it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Editing goes in Lightbulbs, not here.
