    Season 8 · Episode 1 · Line 45820

  28. Some people doodle at work when they let their mind run. They draw houses, penises. Funny how the houses are always colonials and the penises are always circumcised. Don't you think? Well, I doodle too, but I'm not an artist. So I draw words and lists.

    Season 8 · Episode 1 · Line 45822

    Season 8 · Episode 1 · Line 45907

Constantly worrying about where you stand based on inscrutable social clues. And then, inevitably reframing it all in a reassuring way so that you can get to sleep at night. No, I do not believe in that at all. If I invited you to lunch, I think you're a winner. If I didn't, I don't. But I just met you all. Life is long, opinions change. Winners prove me right. Losers, prove me wrong.

I should be toasting you, thanking you, for allowing me to have the easiest job in the universe. Cheers.
