_Off-game:_

No, it’s not. If you’ve seen the movie, then it’s either the first quote that comes to mind, or at least one of your favorites. If you haven’t, or you can’t remember the quote exactly, you can IMDB them; I’ve done that a few times myself.

_On-game:_

I’m not eating because I’m not hungry. I’m not sitting because I’m not staying. I’m not looking at the movie because I saw it seven years ago. It’s \*\*\*The Mack \*\*\*with Max Julien, Carol Speed, and Richard Pryor.

I’m not scared of you. I just don’t like you.
