Casual use of a First Name.

Casual use of a Familiarity.

Derisive Humour.

Things that would 

absolutely, instantly

get them punched if 

they EVER said them

to anyone in person.

Watson, let me go, The Snake,

you don't understand! --

(ceases to struggle, turns demonic)

You insufferable cripple..!!

THUMP!

“Oh!” exclaimed The Little Prince.

And he was suddenly 

overcome with sadness. 

His Flower had told Him 

that She was The ONLY 

one of her kind in 

The Universe. 

And here were 5000 of them, all alike, in one single garden!

“She would be rather resentful,” 

He thought to himself, 

"if she could see THIS… 

She would cough and cough 

and pretend She was dying 

so as to avoid being 

thought ridiculous. 

And I would have to 

pretend to nurse her, 

for otherwise 

she would really 

LET herself die... 

in order to humiliate me.”

"He works with stereotypes - you can see that in 'The Middle-Aged White Man'....

This is present in so many of his fake stories.

The ability to put these stories over on, not only editors, but readers depended on cliché and stereotype, knowing in a way that he was providing people with something.... 

Not exactly What They Wanted to Hear, 

but That [Which] They Were 

Well-prepared to Hear."

On Nov 6, 2013, the Supreme Court of California heard arguments in a case that questioned the inadmissibility to the State Bar based on an applicant's moral character. On Jan 27, 2014, the Court filed its opinion denying Stephen Glass access to the State Bar.




"I didn't have access to the Inner Lives of Other People...."


Well, that's certainly the understatement of the decade.....

"I Don't Dream at All"

"I’ve come across people that have no imaginations at all, and it’s a very interesting… .

I was shocked the first time I came across it. 

And — because I just assumed everybody had an imagination.

And when you — you confront somebody who doesn’t, especially a child, it’s a very interesting and profound thing to me. 

It — an imagination is a — is a trait, you know. 

It’s like anything else. It’s a — it’s a — it’s a talent, or it’s an ability you have to cope. 

Like Dreaming."

- George Lucas

David: 

It must feel like your God abandoned you.

Dr. Elizabeth Shaw: 

What..?

David: 

To lose Dr. Holloway after your father died under such similar circumstances. 

What was it that killed him? Ebola?

Dr. Elizabeth Shaw: 

How do you...? 

How do you know that?

David: 

I watched your dreams.

Kane :

Some awful dream about.... 

Smothering..?

Newt:

Can I dream?

Ripley :

Yes, honey. 

I think we both can. 

Sleep tight.

Newt :

Affirmative.

While she is unconscious in the prison's medical bay, Ripley has a nightmare about being stalked through the Sulaco's hypersleep chamber by a Xenomorph. The Creature grabs her from behind and pins her to the top of Hicks' cryotube, and actually rapes her as the Corporal grins at her through the glass.

"I was in cryo, right? On my way to Xarem, right? Work crew for the nickel refinery, right? I wake up... I know, I don't understand. Oh God, I... I saw... I saw horrible things."

I'm Not Like You - I WAS You. With Better Shoes

Cordy: 

Why where you crying five minutes ago? - 

There's not a thing about badly reapplied mascara that I don't know.

Lilah: 

I'm not Lindsey Mc Donald. 

I don't switch sides whenever it gets tough. 

And since when is this your job? 

I thought Angel was the dark avenger.

Cordy: 

Angel feels responsible for this guy because he brought him back from hell. 

I feel responsible because he did it to save me. 

You, who are actually responsible, feel nothing, because you are a Viscious Bitch.

Lilah: 

So? You know me.

Cordy: 

Please, I was you - with better shoes.

Lilah: 

These are Boracchi.

Cordy: 

Fall collection?

Lilah: 

Next spring.

Cordy: 

He's widened the heel.

Lilah: 

And rounded the toe.

Cordy: 

That won't work with pink.

Lilah: 

The pink is out this spring.

Cordy: 

Billy Blim makes people crazy.

Lilah: 

Not all people. Just men.

He brings out a primordial misogyny in them. 

Turns them into killers.

Cordy: 

Then why didn't he do it to Angel?

Lilah: 

Angel's seen him?

Cordy: 

Yes, right before he escaped from the cops. What's so witty?

Lilah: 

Billy's touch works differently on different men. 

Some lose their mind in an instant.

 Others - can take hours. - Gee, I sure hope Angel isn't starting to feel testy.

Cordy: 

You better hope it.

Lilah: 

I know. I've seen his dark side.

Cordy: 

You really haven't. 

I have to find Billy.

Lilah: 

And I'm gonna help you why?

Cordy: 

You know that guy that you hired to hack into my visions? 

What he did to me? What it felt like?

 I was cut, my face disfigured, and burning with pain every second not knowing if it was gonna end or just get worse till I died.

Lilah: 

So you think I owe you...

Cordy: 

It's not the pain. It's the helplessness. 

The certainty that there is nothing you can do to stop it, that your life can be thrown away in an instant by someone else. 

He doesn't care. 

He'll beat you down until you stay down because he doesn't even think of you as alive. - 

No woman should ever have to go through that, 

and no woman strong enough to wear the mantel of 'Vicious Bitch' would ever put up with it — 

Where is Billy going?
