[WP] You know the random driver in every action movie where the hero jumps in and orders to "follow that car!". Yup, that's you. Every single time you're trying to get anywhere. | I'm getting sick of it.
Every time, every single time I get in this car, something ridiculous happens. I'm an honest man, trying to make an honest living, and I have to put up with this. For some reason, every hard-boiled detective, fugitive space warrior, and mobster-with-a-heart-of-gold chooses this cab.

For the average citizen, though, things have taken a turn for the better. | War ate at the Marshlands like a beast gnawing at prey. The bones of the land had been cracked open, the marrow sucked out and the lifeblood ran dry. Corpses lay facedown in the fens, turning the peat a colour of oxblood; rich and dark when lit. The rivers polluted by bodies; peeling strips of skin and flesh sloughing ... | My fellow Americans, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of Congress and members of the press, thank you for joining me this evening.

[WP] You're in charge of assigning every child on Earth the monster under their bed. One child in particular has caused every monster assigned to him/her to quit. You decide to assign yourself.
You guys are awesome! I didn't expect this kind of response! | "Are you not scared little girl?"
