Transcript:
Arlo: What're you doing?
Janis: Taking some clean towels upstairs!
Arlo: For years you pretend to be interested in the quotidian, then suddenly you are!
Never ask your wife what she is doing if it obviously looks like work. “Thanks for asking honey. I could use your help to re-arrange all of the closets and switch out the summer clothes with the winter ones.”
CamiSu: It wasn’t the size of the vocabulary, but the way he used it as a put-down of others – generally his intellectual superiors. See also William F. Buckley of the reptilian flicking tongue.
