"You make courtship more strenuous than I like."

"You can't go wrong drowning politicians Henry." The Black Swan (1942)

I can't remember the exact quote, but on the ship - when Tyrone eyes Maureen & tells her a little fasting wouldn't hurt her & she seemed heavier - too funny!

"There's nothin' like a stretch on the rack to raise the thirst."

"I'm a better man drunk than sober!"

"I'm not afraid of you gallow dancers!"

"Your eyes... I've looked into kinder guns."

She does a version of this at the end, but his goes something like:
"I always sample a bottle of wine before I buy it. Let's have a sip."

*** The trouble with reality is there is no background music. ***

Make your own background music... my college years in the '80s had MJ, Duran Duran, Culture Club etc. as it's soundtrack... or background music, if you prefer.

My problem with reality is that my dialogue isn't written by the writers for West Wing or Tony Stark.
