What if I told you I was worried if the show went off the air, no one would recognize me at the mall? That would be a selfishthing, yeah. ---

Let’s go up to the mountains, Or down to the seas. You should always say “thank you”, Or at least say “please”. ---

[_in admiring a painting_] I like the relationships. I mean, each character has his own story. The puppy is a bit too much, but you have to over look things like that in these kinds of paintings. The way he’s _holding_ her… it’s almost… filthy. I mean, he’s about to kiss her and she’s pulling away. The way the leg’s sort of smashed up against her… Phew… Look how he’s painted the blouse sort of translucent. You can just make out her breasts underneath and it’s sort of touching him about here. It’s really… pretty torrid, don’t you think? Then of course you have the onlookers peeking at them from behind the doorway like they’re all shocked. They wish. Yeah, I must admit, when I see a painting like this, I get emotionally… erect. ---

- Why are you crying? - Because I’m stupid! - That’s no reason to cry. We cry because we’re sad. For instance, I cry because other people are stupid, and it makes me sad. ---
