S9 - “And I felt His voice take the sword out of my hand.”

JC1 - “Maybe shes made me a closet of clothes”  
JC2 - “I want a life that is mine”  
JC3 - A relationship, I think, is like a shark. You know? It has to constantly move forward or it dies. And I think what we got on our hands is a dead shark.  
JC4 - “There are 72,519 stones in my walls, I’ve counted them many times.”  
JC5 - “Do you find that this approach usually works? Or let me guess, you’ve never tried it before. In fact, you don’t normally approach girls. Am I right? The truth is that you’re a quiet sensitive type but, if I’m prepared to take a chance, I might just get to know the inner you: witty, adventurous, passionate, loving, loyal. Taxi! A little bit crazy, a little bit bad. But hey - don’t us girls just love that?”  
These ones aren’t too hard.

KZ07: “You know, 35 years ago, preparing for a concert meant playing Find-the-Cobra with the hotel chambermaid.”

KZ08: “Generosity. That was my first mistake. I leave these people a little bit extra, and then they hire these men to make trouble. It shows you, sooner or later…you must answer for every good deed.”

KZ09: “Forget it, flyboy. You’ll never catch me.”
