Bob Russel, Vice President.

Toby Ziegler: In a triumph of the middling, a nod to mediocrity, and with gorge rising, it gives me great nausea to announce Robert Russell - Bingo Bob, himself - as your new Vice President.

Will Bailey: This lapdog of the mining interests is as dull as he is unremarkable…

Toby Ziegler
: …as lackluster as he is soporific. This reversion to the mean…

Will Bailey: …this rebuke to the exemplary…

Toby Ziegler: …gives hope to the millions unfavored by the exceptional… Bob Russell: not the worst, not the best, just what we’re stuck with.

Notting Hill (and Marc Chagall's "La Mariée")


Anna Scott: I can't believe you have that picture on your wall.

William:
You like Chagall?

Anna Scott:
I do. It feels like how being in love should be. Floating through a dark blue sky.

William:
With a goat playing the violin.

Anna Scott:
Yes... happiness isn't happiness without a violin-playing goat.

Butterfly Boucher - Another White Dash



Something exciting
about leaving everything behind.

There is something
deep and pulling
leaving everything behind.

Something about having
everthing you think you'll ever need
sitting in the seat next to you.
