Wow, this is the first time I've read all the winners in a pair of matches thus far!
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

I think that it's better than the movie, personally, and I actually really like the movie.
