From Strangers with Candy:

Jerri Blank:  I'm having a lot of trouble cornering my dreams.  All I know is that when you quit school that day, the things you said really inspired me.

Geoffrey Jellineck:  Hey, Jerri, do you remember what I said?  Please?

Jerri Blank:  Of course.  You said "Something something, something."

Geoffrey Jellineck:  That loses a little "umph" the second time around.
