"Please, tell me another joke." Ellen says. "I want so badly for you to explain to me how this is funny."
Alex opens his mouth and closes it a couple of times.
"He started it," he says finally. "I barely touched him - he's the one who pushed me, and I only grabbed him to try and catch my balance, and - "
"Sugar, I cannot express to you how much the press does not give a fuck about who started what," Ellen says. "As your mother, I can appreciate that maybe this isn't your fault, but as the president, all I want is to have the CIA fake your death and ride the dead-kid sympathy into a second term."

Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, 1940s
"Out of all this domestic peace and joy has arisen a curious problem. Lauren Bacall is probably the only Hollywood star who worries about being too happy. “How can I look tormented or wicked on the screen when I feel so good inside?” demands Lauren. While home and marriage come first, she takes her career very seriously. Seated in a Warner Bros. projection room with Bogey, viewing their latest co-starrmg film, Dark Passage, Lauren watched her own performance with anxious eyes. “I look too darned happy there,’ she moaned. Then to Bogey’s amusement, “Do you think I look sexy enough?”
-Screenland magazine, Oct. 1947

I LOVE when a character is at least 200-300 hundreds old and they TALK like one, too. Thinking of Astarion, Halsin, Dracula (in all media, but I am especially fond of Castlevania and Penny Dreadful ones), Alucard, The Outsider (yes, hi, he's 1500 years old God). My fav pals.
All of them coming up with such exquisite compliments, insults, and general comments. L O V E that.
