A little more mess so that it won't be in vain

This is a very good, very good show, referring to the first two seasons.

How much do I like it? After watching it for nearly a year, whenever I think of this drama, it's like eating salmon with a strong mustard flavor.

Don't forget it after it's over.

It would not be an exaggeration to even say that it changed my outlook on life a little.

There's a part of Tony, Sid, and Cassie in everyone...

at least I have, and they all do the best they can.

To have such a period of time, it's cool, it hurts, it hurts, it's going to be like this again.

This is life.

Do what you want to do, spend the time you want to spend, be good or bad.

I actually envy any of them, really.

    [clears throat]

    Emily: About what?
