“It may seem a fine thing in song or story to be ankle-deep in the blood of your enemies but in reality it's slippery, smells bad and is nearly impossible to get out of your socks afterwards.”

“That’s the problem with falling in love. It makes you start talking like a bad country song”

And the song sings the loudest when you pick out each note.”
