"They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist---" "Don't pull down the blinds! I feel fine. I want the sunlight to greet me." "Dying is a very dull, dreary affair. And my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it." "Lord help my poor soul." "Go on, get out! Last words are for fools who haven't said enough." Miss anything?
