To do no contrived murder."

(Where's that from?)

"You didn't think we would meet before tomorrow?"

"When a sufficient number of signed contracts had been returned, teams would depart by car, bus, or train for a few days or a week or two of debating"

The Mask:

"The thing we want most, she thought, is always the thing we can't have."

"Professor Poopypants called for his assistant, Porkbelly Funkyskunk."

-Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants

"See spot run, you fucking whore!"

"The woman at the passanger assistance desk (short and brown, with a mole on the side of her nose) consulted with another woman and made a phone call ('Nope, that one's out.  They've just cancelled it'), then she printed out another boarding card."
