There are nice things in the world - and I mean nice things. We're all such morons to get so sidetracked.

We’re freaks, that’s all. Those two bastards got us nice and early and made us into freaks with freakish standards, that’s all. We’re the tattooed lady, and we’re never going to have a minute’s peace, the rest of our lives, until everybody else is tattooed, too.

I like it when somebody gets excited about something. It's nice.
