       I. I always forget something.  
        I always have ... It's all observer. 
         I always hold out my hand to see if a 
        little bird is in it ... "America is the country of the future. It 
        is a country of beginnings, of projects, of vast designs and expectations." 
        (Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1844) ... In the world of bullies, and their 
        psychological interventions, "the past always buries the future, 
        not the other way around." (Thomas L. Friedman, "Obama 
        on the Nile," NYT, June 11, 2008)  I 
        always see trouble coming.  I am a 
        poet.  I am a river.  I 
        am a University graduate!  I am alive 
         I am a living person.  I am 
        myself ... Good-bye.  I am not into 
        industrial waste ... Do they say things like, "Kneel for me" 
         ? ... Most people are blind.  I 
        am so good, I can have anything I want.  I 
        am sorry for your inconvenience. [Scripted response from the India help 
        desk]  I am Spartacus.  I 
        am such, that a person like that hates me.  I 
        am the master of my fate  I am the captain of my soul.  
        I am . . . weirder because of 
        that.  I apologize to all the shoes. 
         I ask you!  I 
        assure you.  I assure you I spend every 
        cent I get  I get rid of it!  I 
        ate some bad meat.  I bet it's nice. 
         I bet you don't even have your Passover 
        ham in your refrigerator.  I broke 
        my contract with myself.  I can afford 
        to feel things like that.  I can do 
        it in three!  I can do that  
        It's not that hard to do.  I can imagine. 
         I can imagine what goes on.  
        I can live without it ... Did you ever read The 
        Way of All Flesh by Samuel Butler?  I 
        can only hope.  I can see the fire 
         There's a fire in there.  I 
        can see the future.  I can see why. 
         I can take a hint.  I 
        can't ... I could, but I don't want to ... You're on your own, kid 
        ... Learn a trade.  I can't afford 
        to like someone who wasn't kind to me.  I 
        can't be serious.  I can't deny a part 
        of me is always happy ... What happens every day is important. 
         I can't even explain it, it's so weird. 
         I can't go backward in time on this ... 
        I don't feel I have enough energy to  I really don't ... Aren't 
        these Maypoles merry?  I can't hear 
        you  What did you say?  I can't 
        help it  It's in my nature.  I 
        can't help what I say, because I'm talking from myself.  I 
        can't reach that level of functioning.  I 
        can't say what I like?  I can't see 
        five minutes!  I can't stand having 
        to do things the right way.  I can't 
        think of anything better.  I consider 
        it a waste of time.  I could do my 
        rendition of, "There Was Blood on the Saddle."  I 
        could live without the whole thing.  I 
        could tell you more.  I couldn't make 
        it clearer.  I dabble in trouble. 
         I danced with the baby with a hole 
        in her stockings! I danced by the light of the moon ... He was the 
        life of the party, morning, noon and night ... You don't think anything 
        I say is true.  I didn't get a chance. 
         I didn't get anything.  I 
        didn't get here on a watermelon truck.  I 
        didn't get to hear, is it powerful? ... Next time pick the Louvre. 
         I didn't know how rich we were ... In 
        spirit!  I didn't mean to insult you. 
         I didn't see the whole thing.  
        I didn't tell you that ... Don't you get scared. 
         I do.  I 
        do enough.  I do everything people 
        tell me not to do.  I do it in different 
        ways.  I do that all the time. 
         I do worse things than you.  
        I don't.  I 
        don't ... Every morning.  I don't 
        believe you.  I don't care what the 
        angels say to you.  I don't care what 
        you say.  I don't deserve that. 
         I don't do that  I just do good 
        work.  I don't do that stuff.  
        I don't even know if it's that important. 
         I don't even think I had a name  
        I'll have to look at my birth certificate.  I 
        don't fool around  especially with artists.  I 
        don't get around much  I like it here or at home.  I 
        don't have a beak.  I don't have any 
        money  You should give me money.  I 
        don't have anything else to do.  I 
        don't have enough money to feed my horses.  I 
        don't have it now.  I don't have the 
        budget for it, so I'm not spending anything on that now.  I 
        don't have to be right.  I don't have 
        too much money.  I don't know about 
        that.  (1.) I don't know anything 
        about it; (2.) I'd stay away from it; (3.) It's very scary to 
        some people, even thinking about it; (4.) They're always defending 
        their parents and not themselves.  I 
        don't know ... but it breaks the ice!  I 
        don't know how else to put it.  I don't 
        know how to explain it.  I don't know 
        how to put it.  I don't know if you're 
        ready for that.  I don't know what 
        the problem is ... Now why? ... Eat strawberries, listen to 
        records, go hiking, learn a lot ... No bullshit.  I 
        don't know what to write that would make him feel better, so why don't 
        you give him a hug?  I don't know what 
        your problem is, but I'd bet it's hard to pronounce.  I 
        don't know what's going on, but it's strange.  I 
        don't know what's going to happen.  I 
        don't know why.  I don't know why, 
        for a couple of thousand years, people can't see there's no god.  
        I don't know why you're telling me these things 
         I'm just a child.  I don't like 
        getting caught in nets.  I don't like 
        the way you treat people.  I don't 
        mind.  I don't mind waiting an hour 
        to mail a letter if it's weird.  I 
        don't need you to tell parables. [Their parents beat them; they're religious; 
        they're trying to scare you]  I don't 
        remember.  I don't see this as an occupation. 
         I don't see what else.  I 
        don't think it matters anymore.  I 
        don't really think it means too much. Today is not as bad as yesterday. 
        Tomorrow's going to be even nicer. It's going to get a lot worse, but 
        who cares?  I don't think I would be 
        interested.  I don't take it lightly 
         This is California!  I don't 
        think it matters ... Maybe you don't have to know any of that. 
         I don't think it's bad at all.  
        I don't think it's good for me.  I 
        don't think so.  I don't think so that 
        much.  I don't think the job is so 
        important  It's what you understand that's important.  
        I don't think you have to do that.  
        I don't want any warm interpersonal experiences 
        with a four-year-old girl.  I don't 
        want anyone getting bright ideas!  You have to follow orders 
        and not add anything  Every three minutes it's worse than Fox! 
         I don't want anything good.  
        I don't want it polished ... Try anything 
         See what you like  They're your tools.  I 
        don't want to be popular until I get to civilization.  I 
        don't want to be the stooge of a fool.  I 
        don't want to dirty my hands.  I 
        don't want to drag it out, because I'm saving it for someone else 
         Try to understand who's saying these things, or who's saying it 
        now  Because I have a feeling that some of these people don't 
        know what they're doing.  I don't 
        want to end up like the morons around here.  I 
        don't want to get into it  It's against my better judgment. 
         I don't want to have to pretend I'm a 
        financial genius.  I don't want to 
        hear about it.  I don't want to hear 
        anymore.  I don't want to hurt your 
        feelings.  I don't want to make any 
        predictions.  I don't want to ruin 
        it.  I don't want to ruin it for you. 
         I don't want to ruin the effect.  
        I don't want to say anything more.  
        I don't want to step on your toes or anything. 
         I don't want to talk about that right 
        now.  I don't want you dying in my 
        house  It might inspire me.  I 
        don't want you to lose sleep.  I don't 
        want you to work too hard.  I doubt 
        it.  I feel I'm going to sing, I'm 
        glad I'm not alive anymore.  I 
        feel this incessant chatter about nothing is worthless.  I 
        fell in love with a banana and married it.  I 
        figure if anyone would live with me, they're insane.  I 
        figured that out.  I forgot.  
        I gather coconuts.  I 
        get along with everyone.  I give all 
        my energy to my job.  I got me own 
        racket.  I got no strings to hold me 
        down.  I guess I'm the white sheep 
        of the family.  I guess that's it. 
         I guess we'll see you on CNN Financial 
        News.  I guess you never read What 
        Was That? by Al Zeimer.  I had 
        a bad childhood.  I had a brain freeze 
        ... It's working like a charm ... The last remaining seats ... Where we 
        find ourselves.  I had a very warped 
        childhood.  I had no idea I had that 
        allure.  I had that all planned. 
         I hate myself last.  I 
        hate those big bathtubs.  I hate to 
        admit it.  I hate to say it  
        She could be Napoleon's mother.  I 
        have a funny feeling  I think that's why they invented number two. 
         I have a tattoo  Good-by! 
        ,,, Fundamentally, you can't want a squirrel, and chasing them is out 
        of the question.  I have another surprise 
        for you.  I have enough troubles. 
         I have lots of shiners though!  
        I have much more money than I deserve or need. 
         I have my own rules.  I 
        have news for you  I've never looked at you  I've just 
        looked at zebras  I'm from another planet.  I 
        have no bad feeling toward your family.  I 
        have on iron underwear.  I have the 
        Italian disease, MyFUNDSarelow.  I 
        have to check my finances.  I have 
        to eat  I'm getting older.  I 
        have to go rescue my friends now.  I 
        have to work.  I haven't figured it 
        out yet.  I haven't heard THAT in a 
        long time.  I haven't reached that 
        level yet ... Sometimes it's hard to remember things because there are 
        so many things to remember.  I haven't 
        seen you in Church in quite some time.  I 
        hear a pitter-pat in my head unless I sleep with my mouth open.  
        I heard the opposite.  I 
        hope I can remember!  I hope I die 
        in style.  I hope I'm not saying the 
        wrong thing.  I hope it doesn't have 
        a curse.  I hope it isn't a big hit! 
         I hope it isn't ... bad breath. 
         I hope none of this is going on my permanent 
        record.  I hope sparks don't fly. 
         I hope the words, "Who needs you?" 
        aren't engraved on your tombstone.  I 
        hope you don't mind  I get angry, too.  I 
        hope you make a lot of money!  I hope 
        you never find out.  I hope you will. 
         I hurt someone's feelings once.  
        I just can't remember everything.  
        I just can't resist perfection.  I 
        just do good work.  I just don't have 
        the will power.  I just get foolish 
        when I'm with girls.  I just got home 
        from school!  I just got my foot in 
        the door!  I just have a memory for 
        certain things.  I just killed the 
        Pope.  I just made twenty dollars. 
         I just thought it was a good thing to 
        do for the future, no?  I keep saying 
        someone should.  I kid you not. 
         I knew it was too good to be true. 
         I knew there was an ulterior motive. 
         I knew there wasn't an easy way.  
        I knew this was a new level.  I 
        know any number like me  You ought to get around more  Now 
        I can afford to be generous.  I know, 
        but I still want to.  I know enough 
        to do that.  I know how hard it is 
        for you.  I know how you feel. 
         I know, I know! That's life!  
        I know I'm a pain in the ass, but I'm a little 
        helpful.  I know it hasn't cast its 
        spell on you.  I know it's a jungle 
        out there.  I know it's against the 
        rules.  I know it's boring  One 
        of these days I'm going to watch it with you.  I 
        know it's hard  a million things.  I 
        know just how you feel.  I know Perry 
        Como died, but so what?  I know power 
        words!  I know someone you could ask. 
         I know this is important to you.  
        I know we have good food, but you can't move 
        in!  I know what I did  I just 
        made a mistake.  I know  You 
        don't do things like that.  I know 
        you don't like it, but this is the way I am.  I 
        know what time is, but I don't want to explain it.  I 
        know  You have it down.  I know 
        you! I know you and that dog are in collusion ... Well, let's leave 
        it at that ... That's how you get over these things ... 
        You find a nicer situation, and see the difference.  I 
        know you like telling other people what to do.  I 
        know you probably have someone else picked for the job, but if they have 
        a nervous breakdown, I'll step in.  I 
        learned my lesson.  I learned it from 
        you!  I left my gun at home.  
        I let mine rise.  I 
        like a quick turnover.  I like anyone 
        who's dead ... It's just a business ... It's just a racket ... 
        Mohammed was an illiterate truck driver who had visions ... someone 
        wrote them down ... beautiful poetry ... his descendants chased 
        vermin and carriers of the Black Plague across the lands ... Christians 
        had the unique idea to take care of the sick, ill and injured.  
        I like law and order, too.  I 
        like living the life in the shade.  I 
        like my daughter but I can't take care of her.  I 
        like purple  I thought you'd sell it by now  I'm a little 
        careless.  I like the saying, if the 
        British had first landed on the West Coast, New England would be a National 
        Park.  I like the very light touch. 
         I like to see someone getting away with 
        murder.  I look up! ... and money is 
        falling through the skylight.  I love 
        Virginia.  I made you say, "underwear!" 
         I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid. 
         I meant to do that.  I 
        might be an actor  You don't have to do anything.  I 
        might have to change that ... People will come from all over the Midwest, 
        and bring their kids, to see the truth ... As if anyone cares ... [What 
        do you wish to understand about me, that I was butt-fucked at the age 
        of two? Do you despise molested children, too, like my mother did? Just 
        wondering. :-) Well, I'm sensitive 
        to someone making demands on me, asking me to simply go along with them, 
        not actually knowing who they are, without question. Without 
        protest. I've been that way ever since I was a child.]  
        I might try it.  I 
        must be a magnet.  I must be crazy! 
         I must be delusional.  I 
        must be going ... Good-bye!  I must 
        be good for something.  I must have 
        grabbed it and eaten it in my sleep.  I 
        need bars, bars, bars!  I need my space. 
         I negotiate with terrorists.  
        I never do things right the first time, but I 
        do on the second, especially if it's pancakes!  I 
        never even heard of it.  I never even 
        thought of that.  I never forget a 
        face, but in your case I'll make an exception.  I 
        never saw it before.  I never talked 
        to you about Dr. Banana.  I never thought 
        of that.  I noticed yours is perfect, 
        and mine is abysmal.  I read about 
        that in books.  I really don't want 
        to step on your toes.  I really like 
        the free exchange of ideas.  I really 
        like the way you put things.  I really 
        like this  It has a really deep effect on me.  I 
        remain the lead.  I said the magic 
        words!  I saw it coming.  
        I saw it on the news.  I 
        say blood red is the color for you.  I 
        see things differently  I'm just a person.  I 
        see your technique.  I shot an arrow 
        into the air.  I should say so. 
         I should think so!  I 
        shouldn't teach you my secrets.  I 
        speak drunk very well.  I spoke too 
        soon.  I stay awake at night, listening 
        to the wind.  I still am very naïve 
        about certain things.  I still have 
        things to do.  I surprise myself. 
         I surrender.  I 
        talked it over with my parents.  I 
        talked to the kids, and they told me you scared them!  the lady 
        with a pointy hat on a bicycle with a basket, pedaling furiously down 
        the road.  I think.  I 
        think Bermuda is like this this time of year.  I 
        think everyone sees that.  I think 
        I could have.  I think I'll learn to 
        say that.  I think I'm beyond that 
        ... You just can't believe a word they say.  I 
        think in China and in India they caught on, if you pay people, they can 
        do a lot.  I think it gets hotter as 
        it goes along.  I think it's better 
        to have the open space.  I think it's 
        different.  I think it's from the grapes. 
         I think it's the other way around. 
         "I think not!" René Descartes 
        said, and disappeared! [He's the one who said, "Cogito, ergo sum." 
        (Latin: "I think, therefore I am.")]  I 
        think that should be encouraged.  I 
        think that's enough.  I think that's 
        what you're missing.  I think the ants 
        do burrow.  I think the dog did it, 
        or the cat.  I think there are better 
        things than that  I just bought myself a Christmas present. 
         I think there's just one thing you should 
        be afraid of ... It's really bad.  I 
        think this is it.  I think what you 
        do is, put a little dirt in.  I think 
        you ought to get a helmet with horns.  I 
        think you're making a fashion statement.  I 
        think your job is so severe.  I think 
        your wish is going to come true.  I 
        thought you gave up.  I told you he 
        was a troublemaker.  I try and stay 
        out of the way.  I try everything. 
         I used to do that.  I 
        used to have an oriental rug in my bathroom ... You have to lose control 
        of yourself sometimes, just to prove you can do it ... It's when you're 
        older, you think it's a catastrophe.  "I 
        used to read, but it's faster to make up stuff." (Dilbert) 
         I used to remember.  I 
        used to think you were Irish.  I usually 
        know what I"m stealing.  I want 
        a chocolate ice-cream soda size.  I 
        want my mummy!  I want to die the way 
        I was born.  I want to see what's underneath 
        everything.  I want to sit .. and 
        eat .. my spaghetti.  I want you 
        to know it has nothing to do with what's going on.  I 
        want you to take responsibility for that.  I 
        was a seagoing bellhop.  I was born 
        bad, I am bad, and I'll die bad.  I 
        was born on the right side of the day.  I 
        was experimenting.  I was feeling lonely 
        with the bats and the wolves.  I was 
        just going with the traffic.  I was 
        never cute.  I was only born yesterday. 
         I was, too.  I 
        was walking in the woods with my sister, and God goaded me with sugar. 
         I will put this in my garden of wonders. 
         I will save all my money for the Lord. 
         I wish death and rebirth seven times! 
         I wish everyone was like you  It's 
        very good to have other things to do  even reading.  I 
        won't tell anyone if you won't tell anyone.  I 
        won't worry.  I wonder if it's tiredness 
        or I have nothing to do?  I wonder 
        if someone lives just around the corner who likes you? ... You never 
        got the chance to value yourself ... I think that's the way I learned 
        to pay attention to myself ... I was totally put down and ignored ... 
        What else can I do?  I wonder if they 
        make flying taxicabs?  I wonder if 
        they're that dumb.  I wonder what comes 
        next?  I wonder what it's like to have 
        squirrels living in your skull." (Dilbert)  I 
        would be nowhere without him, and I am anyway.  I 
        would check that out.  I would feel 
        very safe with you.  I would have known 
        the answer to that if you hadn't asked me.  I 
        would say that's punishment enough, don't you?  I 
        would say that's your first step.  I 
        would seek professional help.  I would 
        think of it as a great blessing.  I 
        wouldn't bother with people I don't like . . . I appoint 
        you to be keeper of the flame.  I wouldn't 
        doubt it.  I wouldn't fool around. 
         I wouldn't let just anyone do this. 
         I wouldn't say that.  I 
        wouldn't say that's killing you, right?  I 
        wouldn't take that from anyone!  When I'm dead, I'll let you 
        know.  I wouldn't worry ... 
        Probably somewhere down deep there's a little kid that wants to come out ... 
        Just face it: You're bad! ... The "oughts" ... 
        A whiff of your mother's perfume ... Very little, but there's a leak ... 
        Don't you put soapy water on and look for bubbles?  I 
        write the most pungent things  Don't you know some old ladies you 
        could trip or something?  I'd call 
        Homeland Security.  I'd call it more 
        than sentiment  I'd call it green passion!  I'd 
        just as soon be Japanese  I don't want to be like you.  
        I'd just like to see it.  I'd 
        like to look over the business plan.  I'd 
        like to, but I can't.  I'd like to 
        leave that out of it.  I'd like to 
        run through your hair  barefoot!  I'd 
        like to see a lot more of you.  I'd 
        like to see that!  I'd rather work 
        with Buddha.  I'll be glad when this 
        is over.  I'll bet you!  
        I'll bet you do!  I'll 
        change that soon.  I'll cry tomorrow. 
         I'll do anything you like, or see that 
        it gets done, as long as you put it in writing and sign your name to it. 
         I'll figure it out.  I'll 
        figure something out.  I'll get a plastic 
        mirror so they can see themselves ... That's too much to ask, huh? ... 
        It's another world, you know? ... They didn't go to Church, huh? ... I 
        don't even have to ... I usually look.  I'll 
        get ideas how to torture you.  I'll 
        give you some ... and what about dog meat?  I'll 
        give you two weeks' notice.  I'll have 
        my money guy call your money guy  Who's your accountant?  
        I'll have to build a bigger box.  I'll 
        have to change my diet.  I'll have 
        to get some more!  I'll have to have 
        a talk with myself.  I'll have to look 
        at my calendar.  I'll have to remember 
        that one.  I'll have to see it first. 
         I'll have to work on that ... It's 
        the cherry on top!  I'll just wait 
         I'm tired of explaining things to people.  I'll 
        let you have fun.  I'll let you think 
        about that.  I'll look at it later. 
         I'll meet with you next Wednesday and 
        let you know.  I'll meet you halfway 
        and we'll have lunch.  I'll mention 
        it to the boys downtown.  I'll never 
        take YOU for a mystery ride.  I'll 
        put on my circus dress.  I'll record 
        my farewell speech: "Don't inhale!"  I'll 
        see what I can do.  I'll sell it to 
        you.  I'll send it to you.  
        I'll take you seriously if you take me seriously. 
         I'll tell you privately sometime. 
         I'll tell you why! They have one thing 
        -- a diploma!  I'll try it.  
        I'll wait.  I'll 
        watch for that.  I'll wear a T-shirt 
        that says, "I can't be serious."  I'm 
        7 years old  I miss my parents.  I'm 
        a bad influence, right?  I'm a Buddhist. 
         I'm a businessperson. I go by reality. 
        We don't go by calendars.  I'm a Cherokee, 
        a Chippewa, a Big Shit, too!  I'm a 
        Colossus that strides two worlds!  I'm 
        a complete stranger  Why would you ask me something like that? 
         I'm a crocodile.  I'm 
        a drunk  I'm not an alcoholic  Alcoholics go to meetings. 
         I'm a little frazzled.  I'm 
        a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me? ... I don't think it's 
        such a hot thing to be.  I'm a stagehand. 
         I'm a stranger here myself.  
        I'm a work in progress.  I'm 
        about as far away from that as you can get.  I'm 
        adjusting.  I'm afraid I'll mislead 
        you.  I'm against training dogs. 
         I'm all for that.  I'm 
        all in pink today! I'm having a baby! And I'm calling her Barbie! 
         I'm already sorry.  I'm 
        amazed you're not butter.  I'm an American! 
         I'm an importer of false eyelashes. 
         I'm ashamed because I hate myself!  
        Don't you think that's ironic?  I'm 
        asleep, it's okay ... Too down to go! ... It's an awareness thing 
        ... Things mean so much to these people ... Right away you're wrong! 
        ... Don't let people fool you into making things ugly. Think about that. 
         I'm at the bottom!  I'm 
        authentic, right?  I'm barren and the 
        whole village knows it and hates me!  I'm 
        begging for cookies!  I'm beginning 
        to believe in genetics  It could be a genetic predisposition. 
         I'm beginning to hate the boss ... 
        He's not working hard enough! ... Maybe I should start a health clinic ... 
        a milk farm for dogs ... I've had it with the boss! ... The 
        boss is a liar and doesn't do anything!  I'm 
        better off right now.  I'm but a mere 
        pawn.  I'm completely sailing under 
        false colors  I think a lot of things that aren't true  They're 
        always in a different place.  I'm dangerous 
        Dan McGrew.  I'm doing something for 
        my father.  I'm doing this for the 
        kids.  I'm dying to hear ... Home 
        run! ... That was over the wall ... You win ... That's 
        what happens when you're old.  I'm 
        fixin' to.  I'm from another tribe. 
         I'm getting really good at it though. 
         I'm getting ready to leave, okay? 
         I'm glad I don't have to see that. 
         I'm glad we don't own a gas station together 
         You'd be a terrible partner.  
        I'm glad you left the children out ... I'm glad you left the kids out. 
         I'm glad you told me that, because I'm 
        going to disregard that.  I'm glad 
        you're getting a sense of humor about it.  I'm 
        glad you're not the Emperor.  I'm going 
        to appoint you to be the timekeeper.  I'm 
        going to be careful what I say around you.  I'm 
        going to build a good case! Cutty Sark!  I'm 
        going to do that.  I'm going to get 
        another one.  I'm going to get another 
        one, right?  I'm going to introduce 
        you to your future. [Go for the biggest one]  I'm 
        going to join the Army tomorrow.  I'm 
        going to let you talk to Andy ... And 'e walks with me; And 'e 
        talks with me; And 'e holds my hand; And he tells me I'm bad. 
         I'm going to lose no matter how you look 
        at it.  I'm going to miss life when 
        I don't exist.  I'm going to put something 
        on it, I don't know ... maybe a gallows ... Because they can't 
        see the puck when it's in front of them ... You might see some patterns, 
        right? ... It'll take a little while ... It's like being in the wine business 
        ... Write down whatever comes to your mind ... The circus is in town ... 
        Go run away with the circus ... Sorry to bore you ... That's your fate 
        ... Let's hope this continues.  I'm 
        going to try it.  I'm going to try 
        that sometime.  I'm going to use all 
        the money I get to make a nicer grave for my mother.  I'm 
        good even when I don't control myself.  I'm 
        having too much fun!  I'm hip! 
         I'm in a different school.  
        I'm in charge of it  You don't have to 
        worry anymore.  I'm in for it. 
         I'm in no position to even see what's 
        going on ... So let's do that now.  I'm 
        in solidarity with dogs and angry children.  I'm 
        just a person.  I'm just Black on the 
        outside  You're black on the inside.  I'm 
        just curious, you know. I like to be up to date.  I'm 
        just going to stay with what I have ... Better to live in the shadow of 
        the castle.  I'm just in the mood to 
        do nothing.  I'm just like my father. 
         I'm just not afraid to be wrong  
        That's the best I can do  I like paper dresses  People will 
        get a new one every year  They were much less smooth in the old 
        days.  I'm just preparing you, okay? 
         I'm just starting out in life  
        I can't be saddled with a child.  I'm 
        more Jewish than you are.  I'm no worse 
        than you.  I'm not a rag  You 
        can't tell me what to do  Put on the dog a little!  
        I'm not actually a driver  I'm a pirate. 
         I'm not afraid of that ... I just wanted 
        to see what's going on.  I'm not afraid 
        of you  I'm afraid of my mother!  I'm 
        not afraid of you  You're just a pack of cards.  I'm 
        not alone.  I'm not an angel.  
        I'm not as sensitive as you.  I'm 
        not doing anything  I'm giving orders.  "I'm 
        not doing hand shows today." (Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson) 
        ... I'm not saying anything, because I'm not like that.  
        I'm not doing this anymore!  I'm 
        not exactly a bathroom man, either.  I'm 
        not fussy ... Glad to share.  I'm 
        not gay  I'm morose.  I'm not 
        getting that much out of it.  I'm not 
        going to choke on my anger.  I'm not 
        going to fool around anymore.  I'm 
        not going to talk about it anymore  Why should I give away pearls? 
        ... Oh, look at all those colors! ... I'm not taking this seriously 
        ... It's hopeless ... It's a virus talking about an elephant ... People 
        only feel bad when they're not themselves ... A lot of what you feel is 
        not ... It's what you imitated when you were a child ... I know I'm not 
        always right ... Two people with mean mothers are not going to have a 
        very nice time together ... "I'm not a pimple on your ambition and 
        you shouldn't squeeze me." ... We should avoid these ends by avoiding 
        these beginnings ... People incorporate wholesale the entire personality 
        of the one they think is the most powerful ... One Jesus is enough ... 
        If you imitate anyone else, you'll be you ... They have a name for it 
        ... Monkeys is the craziest people! ... In the old days people 
        had a lot of fun calling each other names ... You just have to let yourself 
        ... You're my kind of artist! ... If you're near the sun, you can grow 
        ... Like a thief that comes in the night.  I'm 
        not going to hell  I forgot!  I have a room.  I'm 
        not going to ruin it for you.  I'm 
        not going to waste my affections on that child.  I'm 
        not going to waste my time thinking it's no good.  I'm 
        not having much trouble.  I'm not in 
        a hurry.  I'm not in the in-crowd; 
        I don't know anything.  I'm not letting 
        the dumbest man in the woods dictate my choices.  I'm 
        not prone to argue.  I'm not pushing 
        it.  I'm not qualified  Talk 
        to a therapist.  I'm not so sure about 
        that.  I'm not sorry I asked, but could 
        we set it aside?  I'm not telling anyone. 
         I'm not the first bad person.  
        I'm not trying to trick you, but remember you 
        said that.  I'm not used to that ... 
        Maybe I'm just sensitive to color.  I'm 
        not very articulate  It's not my first language.  I'm 
        not working for you  I am a lamp, I am a mirror, I am a door, I 
        am a way.  I'm old-fashioned.  
        I'm on the fuck-yourself track.  I'm 
        on vacation!  I'm on your side. 
         I'm one step away.  I'm 
        out of the loop, too  It's three thousand miles away, in Chicago. 
         I'm over here!  I'm 
        pregnant.  I'm really amazed no one 
        has even thought of that.  I'm really 
        curious why.  I'm really rolling. 
         I'm riddled with diseases.  
        I'm right there with you.  I'm 
        secretly ironic.  I'm singing in the 
        pain!  I'm smart enough to know when 
        someone's trying to get me to hate myself, and I won't do it!  
        I'm so busy, I can't read this until the fall, 
        ... and can you please send this in a format I can read?  I'm 
        so dirty anyway, what's the difference?  I'm 
        so sorry I said something bad ... Have a cookie! [Slow low voice] 
         I'm so taken aback that you're talking 
        to me that way.  I'm sorry about that. 
         I'm sorry  I burned a hole ... 
        Your unconscious knows exactly what you're doing.  I'm 
        sorry, I can't  I don't want to  What if they find out 
        I'm not crazy?  I'm sorry  I 
        lost control of myself.  I'm sorry, 
        my wife is in the hospital  I have to visit her.  I'm 
        sorry, Senator, I can't recall.  I'm 
        sorry ... that you feel that way.  I'm 
        sorry they're not emeralds.  I'm standing 
        in the corner of my smile!  I'm starting. 
         I'm straight and you're ugly.  
        I'm straight, but I'm not narrow.  
        I'm supposed to have a big 
        ego  I'm an artist.  I'm sure 
        a lot of people are complaining.  I'm 
        sure I don't need it.  I'm sure it's 
        going to destroy someone, but I don't know who.  I'm 
        sure it's true for everyone.  I'm sure 
        something worse will happen, no?  I'm 
        sure that's just for management.  I'm 
        sure they know.  I'm sure you can figure 
        it out.  I'm sure you can see it. 
         I'm sure you'll find one when everything's 
        cheap.  I'm surprised it's legal. 
         I'm surrounded by assassins! [Jimmy Durante 
        voice]  I'm taking a paid holiday inside 
        myself.  I'm taking a real vacation 
        on the day of your gathering ... I'm not going to be there ... 
        My plans aren't final, however, Thank you!  I'm 
        talking about the realm of ideas, a higher level of existence.  
        I'm talking to you, aren't I?  I'm 
        terribly disappointed in your patient relations.  I'm 
        the one they like to ignore.  I'm the 
        one who's ruining the atmosphere of Happy Hollow ... It's my 
        attitude ... It's no good.  I'm 
        tired of green.  I'm too young to be 
        your babe!  I'm too young to do that 
        alone.  I'm totally prepared for having 
        a bad child ... She's into power, isn't she?  I'm 
        trying to be what I am  not what I'm supposed to be.  
        I'm trying to do it a certain 
        way  the simplest way I can  I say the simplest way is one 
        at a time.  I'm trying to do 
        things I never did before.  I'm trying 
        to figure out if that's a compliment or an insult.  I'm 
        trying to make a living.  I'm trying 
        to think.  I'm using it for something 
        else.  I'm very good at sneaking stuff 
        into garbage cans.  I'm very patriotic 
         I'm very proud to be from Scotland.  I'm 
        waiting.  I'm waiting for the day when 
        you're not nice to me.  I'm waiting 
        for virtual insanity.  I'm waiting 
        till I can.  I'm way ahead of you. 
         I'm wise to you!  I'm 
        working hard and having fun.  I've 
        always thought that.  I've arrived. 
         I've been down that road before.  
        I've been reading Great Expectations. 
         I've been there.  I've 
        decided I'm never going to talk about money, and I'm never going to hear 
        about it  Gee, that's really great.  I've 
        got a girlfriend.  I've got a nose 
        to pick with you.  I've got mine! Here's 
        my note!  I've got Moxie's Disease! 
         I've heard about it, but I don't know. 
         I've heard that before, especially from 
        a Jewish woman ... Stepping out ... Well, everyone is ... Some 
        parents ignore you, and that's not good, too.  I've 
        outgrown that.  I've seen it all 
        before  They get smaller and smaller, right?  A lot of detail 
         The worst is over, don't you think?  I've 
        seen worse.  I've talked to many. 
         I've told you that for years.  
        Ice and all.  ICY 
        FIRE! ICY FIRE! ICY FIRE!  Idle 
        hands do the devil's own work.  If 
        a boy sees a shooting star over a girl, what can a boy do? ... It's 
        really worth seeing.  (1.) If 
        a girl likes you, she'll let you know; they won't come up to you and bug 
        you; (2.) I'm not getting into that; (3.) I'm living with my 
        family; (4.) As long as you're smart enough to hide; (5.) Ten 
        thousand dollars an hour; (6.) You know, you'd be a great Pope; (7.) No 
        one should take another person's job; (8.) Maybe it'll go away by 
        Wednesday; (9.) I could do it, but I don't think I want to; (10.) The 
        last and final insult  It's not real.  If 
        a man speaks in the forest, and his wife isn't there, is he still wrong? 
         If Allah didn't want dogs to bark, he 
        wouldn't have made them.  If anyone's 
        mean, get up and walk out!  If everything's 
        wrong, what's right?  If he can talk 
        back or walk away, he's okay.  If I 
        can, I will.  If I did everything my 
        mother told me to do, I'd be a human pretzel.  If 
        I do it, it's magic  If you do it, it's manipulative.  
        If I don't help everyone, Ming the Merciless 
        will take over the world.  If I don't, 
        I'm going to be bad, or whatever.  If 
        I even wanted to.  If I ever need more, 
        I'll let you know.  If I feel like 
        it.  If I get hungry, I'll eat. 
         If I hurt your feelings, I'm very sorry. 
         If I smile, how will you know when I'm 
        happy or sad?  If I was a Buddhist, 
        I'd say you've arrived.  If I were 
        smart.  If I'm bored  You get 
        into Archie and Veronica -land.  If 
        I'm dead, put it on my tombstone.  If 
        I'm not back in five minutes, just wait longer.  If 
        I'm not weird by now, when will I be?  (a.) If 
        it doesn't kill you, don't remember it  (b.) Don't remember 
        anything that doesn't kill you!  (c.) Don't remember anything 
        that doesn't mean anything!  If 
        it doesn't scream, how do you know it's alive?  If 
        it isn't one thing, it's another.  If 
        it isn't, so what?  If it stays. 
         If it's a parallel universe, how can you 
        see it?  If it's less, we can fudge 
        it.  If it's not that much trouble, 
        forget it!  If it's still in business. 
         If Jesus could do it, you can, too. 
         If men were angels, we wouldn't need laws. 
         If men weren't monkeys, we wouldn't need 
        cages.  If my dog had a face like yours, 
        I'd shave its ass and walk it backwards.  If 
        my parents had been flawless, I'd be the Pope.  If 
        not, that's good.  If nothing changes. 
         If nothing else.  If 
        only ... It's just an idea.  If 
        other people do it, it must stink! ... My golden rule.  If 
        rich people spend money, it's sound business ... If poor people spend 
        money, it's a crime ... or hobby! ... My monthly rent is 
        $1200.00 ... Monthly-income-to-be: $779.17 ... Maybe someone will give 
        me a two-dollar tip! ... Once you see workers, you take their side 
        ... "There's an old saying that victory has 100 fathers and defeat 
        is an orphan." (President John F. Kennedy, 1960) ... When I 
        have money, I just spend it ... I spend it as fast as I get it 
        ... "No Sweat  Just Flunking Stress Tests" (U.S. 
        Government) ... You have to spend money to make money.  
        If she's in the Marines!  If 
        someone did ten thousand of something, one might turn out really good. 
         If someone tries to kill you, smite them! ... 
        It's The Song of Moses (Deuteronomy 32:1-47) ... Every week it 
        gets easier.  If someone's getting 
        results, why shouldn't they do it?  If 
        something else happens, I'll let you know.  If 
        that's so, let me think about it.  If 
        that's what you want to call it.  If 
        the pope were here, he would understand.  If 
        their mind wasn't that way, would they treat other people that way? 
         If they need your help, they'll ask, and 
        if you don't want to do it, don't; ask yourself, what is being friendly 
        to someone else? stand up for beauty; cling to your capacity for warmth; 
        support people's efforts to be themselves; build your awareness; build 
        your attention; build your consciousness; build your ability  where 
        you do things from  greater; you should be proud of being alive. 
         If this happened a lot it would be a joke. 
         If this was fairy-tale land, the sky would 
        have fallen already.  If this wasn't 
        hard, everyone would be rich.  If we 
        can.  If we can't mess it up, nobody 
        can.  If we could do this right, we'd 
        be working in a restaurant.  If we 
        don't remember the past, we're condemned to repeat it.  If 
        worse comes to worse.  If you believe 
        you can tell me what to think, I believe I can tell you where to go. 
         If you can.  If 
        you can see it  There's a little kernel inside you that can grow, 
        if you give it attention, nourishment ..  If 
        you can't come up with anything better than that, I'm not coming here. 
         If you can't, don't.  "If 
        you can't tolerate your worst, at least once in a while, how true to yourself 
        can you be?" (Benedict Carey)  If 
        you come over and feed 'em to me.  If 
        you could.  If you don't have four 
        tickets to the Sharks, you're not a real man!  If 
        you don't liberate a person from their ability to hurt themselves, life 
        is hopeless.  If you don't like anybody, 
        it's a little bit hard for anyone to like you.  If 
        you don't mind.  If you don't take 
        your time, in time you will have no time.  If 
        you don't underestimate me, I won't underestimate you.  If 
        you don't want a dollar, you can give it to a child.  If 
        you ever have trouble with a roommate, call the cops.  If 
        you find my mind, don't tell me! ... Am I losing my mind? 
         If you get a dog, you have to expect that. 
         If you get caught up in it, you're lucky. 
         If you had shit on your face, you'd be 
        pretty.  If you hate someone, you're 
        already cured.  If you have someone 
        to help you, it's twice as bad, because they never do anything right. 
         If you have the time.  If 
        you haven't read it, you should read it.  If 
        you hurt yourself, that's something else.  If 
        you insist.  If you just write things, 
        the mind will wiggle.  If you know 
        where the dirt is.  If you let kids 
        get into trouble, if they can get out of it, they do real well.  
        If you lie about hatred, it comes out in ways 
        you don't expect.  If you lose things, 
        you can get new things!  If you obey 
        all the rules, you miss all the fun.  If 
        you only knew.  If you play music to 
        people, and say nice things, they heal faster.  If 
        you put your finger on it, it's soup.  If 
        you say something and someone can prove it's wrong, then you're a criminal. 
         If you see a huge flash of light, don't 
        look at it.  If you sit in a hammock 
        and read a book, that's one thing ...  If 
        you take enough of a vacation from yourself, it won't have that power 
        over you.  If you think about it, hurricanes 
        are much worse.  If you think we muck 
        around like this all day, you're right!  If 
        you treat your brother like that, you'll never get a good husband. 
         If you try  Don't get it on your 
        clothes!  If you wait that long. 
         If you want a hard time, that's okay. 
         If you want a robot to read this to you, 
        push a button ... It says, "Smell my armpit, cutie pie!" 
        ... I'm struggling to be user interactive.  If 
        you want more, you can buy them.  If 
        you want to micromanage the little players, get a chessboard.  
        If you want to succeed in business, do nothing. 
         If you're a secretary when you're three, 
        you're a boss when you're thirty-three.  If 
        you're big, you don't have to be mean.  If 
        you're ever in L.A., have your people call my people, and we'll have lunch. 
         If you're going for volume, you wink at 
        quality.  If you're important, people 
        will wait.  If you're in a pinch. 
         If you're not using yourself, someone 
        else is.  If you've had one too many, 
        don't call a taxi  Call a tow truck!  Imagine 
        having two of them.  Imagination is 
        more important than knowledge.  Impressive ... 
        Somebody taught you something wrong ... They're good, huh? ... 
        It might be from drinking ... It's going to get bad anyway, so why 
        get it good? ... Don't die! ... You either get it or 
        you don't.  In a hundred years it will 
        be fabulous.  In a lot of ways. 
         In a war that's very handy.  
        In a way it's a blessing.  In

         In my profession you know you're no better

        living with a mystery.  It means 
        you're holding on to something ... How to have the nerve to be ... How 
        to throw a toot and laugh.  It missed, 
        right?  It must be ... Maybe 
        you should start choking me.  It must 
        be a racial memory.  It must be brutal 
        when you're old.  It must be hideous. 
         It must be the factory.  It 
        must be true.  It must have been somebody 
        else.  It must hurt.  It 
        never hurts to be friendly.  It never 
        hurts to be held back a year.  It never 
        stops.  It pays to be an evil genius 
        when you're on the web.  It puts a 
        bad day in perspective.  It really 
        is scary! ... You and me, babe, how 'bout it? ... She's lucky people 
        fall for that shit, because a lot of people wouldn't, you know?  
        It really is scary, you know?  It 
        renews my hope  When someone likes you, you feel free and at ease; 
        when someone's pretending they like you, you hate them.  It 
        restores my faith.  It runs in the 
        family.  It seems limited.  
        It seems to be a battle between God and Satan. 
         It served its purpose.  It 
        shortens the day.  It should add up 
        to something.  It shows the total 
        failure of mass education  Everyone is lying triple-time now: 
        (1.) They don't believe in God; (2.) They can't say they don't 
        believe in God; (3.) If they don't say the "right answer," 
        they're disgraced.  It sneaks up on 
        you, doesn't it?  It sounds like a 
        rebellion down in the mines.  It staggers 
        the imagination, doesn't it?  It started 
        somewhere.  It still is.  
        It still sounds like something my mother would 
        say.  It sure would make life easy. 
         It takes a long time.  It 
        takes all kinds, huh?  It takes one 
        to know one!  It takes two to tangle. 
         It takes very fine energy to make a painting; 
        but your coarse energy, your hatred, builds up ... Jealousy is an attempt 
        to diminish yourself in comparison to another person; to try to make another 
        person seem bigger than they really are.  It 
        was all in my mind.  It was brutal. 
         It was nothing to speak of ... 
        You see how things build up.  It was 
        painful.  It was perfect timing, but 
        backwards.  It was really different 
        in the old days  There were so few people  They could really, 
        really help people.  It was so nice 
        when I was little.  It wasn't everything 
        ... That's at least real ... You don't know what kind of families 
        they had.  It wasn't meant to be. 
         It wasn't special, let's put it that way. 
         IT WORKS!  It 
        would be a big advantage.  It would 
        be criminal to waste my life that way.  It 
        would be very good to remember the primal fear  That's how you 
        get over it  He's frightened of Lawrence Welk's accordion, for 
        all I know   How many times can you click by Lawrence Welk? 
         It would still be worth it!  
        It would take a long time to paint a turtle on 
        top of a bird on top of a snake on top of a heron, as seen from above. 
         It wouldn't be impossible, huh?  
        It'll be a lot at first and then it'll be nothing. 
         It'll be a social embarrassment.  
        It'll take a little while.  It'll 
        turn around.  It's a bad sign. 
         It's a confluence of planets.  
        It's a crossroads.  It's 
        a different culture  2400 years old  Isn't that strange? 
         It's a disgrace.  It's 
        a family weakness  It goes way back.  It's 
        a fucking pain in the ass.  It's a 
        good investment.  It's a good place 
        to start.  It's a good place to stay 
        healthy.  It's a good rule: Don't try 
        to improve your life; improve yourself. What many people call improving 
        their life is a downward spiral.  It's 
        a great advantage to have friends  It really helps.  It's 
        a great hardship.  It's a hard thing 
        to be subject to the review of others.  It's 
        a hot spot.  It's a huge success. 
         It's a joke.  It's 
        a lateral move.  It's a little removed. 
         It's a little strange.  It's 
        a lot better than sucking off Jesus ... That's it ... You're not 
        going in the woods anymore ... It's as good an explanation as any ... 
        It's easy to steal cars ... Watch out for people trying to take your 
        attention ... It may just hang there like a low cloud ... There's 
        no ceiling ... All they do is chew things up ... There's nothing 
        fresh ... Dude, why are you talking to this guy this way? ... Look 
        at you ... In a few years, you'll be asking him for money ... Do you 
        see how much variety there is in this?  It's 
        a lot easier than putting it in boxes! ... They call that ... (What 
        do they call that?) ... instant gratification!  It's 
        a lot of money, but ...  It's 
        a match made in heaven.  It's a matter 
        of honor.  It's a matter of intelligence. 
         It's a mirage.  It's 
        a mystery.  It's a passion.  
        It's a primitive thing, tribal ... It used to 
        be all white ... For the long haul, does it make any sense? ... Very narrow 
        ... You have to have a sense of humor about these things ... Sometimes 
        the cure is a clean conscience.  It's 
        a really good rational outlet for anger.  It's 
        a scandal, isn't it?  It's a sign of 
        total hatred and no place to put it.  It's 
        a sin.  It's a site dealing with how 
        to turn a bad situation around; it isn't porn; it's basically constructive 
        comebacks to insulting situations. [Post by megapupils at craigslist.org 
        2003-01-07 10:02:20]  It's a skill. 
         It's a solid wall of black.  
        It's a strain.  It's 
        a strange tangle.  It's a strange world 
        I've fallen into.  It's a tenuous life 
        at best.  It's a trade secret. 
         It's a treat to beat your feet on the 
        Mississippi mud!  It's a very complicated 
        formula.  It's a very small circle 
        of people.  It's a vicious culture 
         Anyone who is at all different is just smashed.  It's 
        a whole career within a career.  It's 
        a wise person who knows what they like to do.  It's 
        a wonderful opportunity for somebody.  It's 
        a world within a world.  It's abysmal. 
         It's against my principles.  
        It's alive!  It's 
        all a transference.  It's all about 
        how a person controls their mind and uses their mind to do things. 
         It's all artificial ... Look at your 
        nose.  It's all connected.  
        It's all fake.  It's 
        all fluid and crazy and stupid.  It's 
        all how you feel on the inside.  It's 
        all in your mind.  It's all indirect. 
         It's all jungle.  It's 
        all right.  It's all right if you feel 
        hurt.  It's all right to be stupid. 
         It's all symbols, you know?  
        It's all the things they never talked about when 
        I was little.  It's almost ludicrous, 
        isn't it?  It's already happened ... 
        Do you want it to happen again?  It's 
        always better not to do anything permanent at first.  It's 
        always wrong for a person not to use their abilities.  It's 
        amazing how much there is to do, huh?  It's 
        amazing how naïve people are about things.  It's 
        amazing how they grow.  It's an accommodation 
        to nature that's successful.  It's 
        an acquired taste.  It's an artifact, 
        and I don't take shit from anyone.  It's 
        an assortment, and then there's a table  One at a time.  
        It's an attitude about taking care of yourself. 
         It's an effort to get back to what you 
        were  Children are very hopeful of life  They see life as 
        a helper.  It's an incentive.  
        It's an indication.  It's 
        an investment that pays off.  It's 
        an old one.  It's an old story, right? 
         It's another slice of life.  
        It's another way you can bring your knowledge 
        to another country.  It's asking for 
        a miracle.  It's bad for business. 
         It's bad stuff.  It's 
        beautiful.  It's because Jupiter was 
        lined up with Florida.  It's because 
        you're good.  It's because you're not 
        Jewish.  It's been going on for thousands 
        of years.  It's below that.  
        It's better if you don't freeze it.  
        It's better than a chain hanging out of your 
        asshole.  It's better than a degree 
        from Harvard.  It's better than being 
        asleep.  It's better than dinner. 
         It's better than dirt.  It's 
        better than I deserve.  It's better 
        than playing golf, let's put it that way.  It's 
        better than running an elevator  Just realize, you don't have to. 
         It's better to be a moron who knows you're 
        a moron than to think you're smart.  It's 
        better to be evil and alive than whatever the opposite is.  
        It's better to have a friend than money. 
         It's better to not do your homework and 
        get A's and B's than to do your homework and get A's and B's.  
        It's better to wait  Well, whatever you 
        say, you're wrong.  It's better you 
        know than you don't know.  It's bigger 
        than miniature golf!  It's blessed. 
         It's called suffering for your family. 
         It's called whistling in the dark. 
         It's camel time! No one's on time! 
         It's certainly worth it.  It's 
        charmed.  It's cheap compared to pennies ... 
        They have even cheaper ones.  It's 
        cheaper.  It's cheaper to let someone 
        rob your house, than break the door.  It's 
        civilized  It's like logic.  It's 
        coming back.  It's dangerous not to 
        like yourself, because you're the best friend you have.  It's 
        different stages.  It's easier to learn 
        how to be happy than than it is to learn how to suffer ... So seek 
        happiness, fool!  It's easy! ... 
        Cats are slinky.  It's easy to do ... 
        You'll have to give up accounting.  It's 
        endless.  It's fantastic.  
        It's fate.  It's 
        for an artist ... If you grow good things in your life, then you are surrounded 
        by beauty ... The tread of my feet on the earth springs a hundred affections 
        ... If you grow good things in your garden ... The least difficult thing 
        I've done.  It's funny how the harder 
        you work, the luckier you get.  It's 
        funny, huh?  It's funny who wants to 
        get stuck on the farm and who doesn't.  It's 
        further than you think.  It's fwee! 
         It's getting later!  It's 
        getting to where you have to do things yourself.  It's 
        going to be a gravel bed of dreams.  It's 
        going to be nice ... Because you're like Daisy Duck?  It's 
        going to get uglier.  It's golden. 
         It's gonna break your heart!  
        It's good enough.  It's 
        good for anyone.  It's good for you 
        and good for other people.  It's good 
        to check.  It's good to get along with 
        people.  It's good to have a few mistakes. 
         It's good to have a little trouble, too 
         It smartens you up.  It's good 
        to see.  It's good to see you happy 
         You don't have to do everything at once.  It's 
        good to work hard; it's good to feel happy; it's good to live.  
        It's good when I break my diet.  It's 
        good when people know what they can't do.  It's 
        good you can talk about it.  It's gorgeous 
        ... I have no idea ... I don't know why they stick things where they stick 
        'em.  It's grotesque.  It's 
        handy, in case you didn't know.  It's 
        happened before.  It's happening less 
        and less.  It's hard enough having 
        Nature poking at you.  It's hard enough 
        to pay for my child's education.  It's 
        hard for everyone.  It's hard for me 
        to count money and think at the same time.  It's 
        hard to beat a suicide squad.  It's 
        hard to believe, isn't it?  It's hard 
        to come by ... I won't be embarrassed if you put a dollar in a jar 
        ... No one knows if it's real or in your mind ... It's like a glimpse 
        of birds ... It's so powerful you can't believe it ... The glimpse 
        ... I used to like Hitler until I saw color films ... He had cheap 
        uniforms ... It doesn't matter ... What difference does it make? ... 
        It's just a different idea ... And next he'll put colors on it ... Now 
        I can hold my head up ... There's very little value on humans these 
        days, simply because they're human ... So when does this occur to you? 
        ... If you're dealing with Hitler, what difference does it make if you're 
        successful or not? ... Get out!  It's 
        hard to do it when you laugh.  It's 
        hard to imagine, isn't it?  It's hard 
        to know.  It's hard to know  
        I let my mind go.  It's hard to say. 
         It's hard to shake off.  It's 
        hard to tell, huh?  It's hard to understand 
        at first; there's lots of little rules ... You must write these things 
        down, and then you have a clear conscience ... But what's going to 
        happen to you in the future? ... Even a little education is fantastic. 
         It's harder than you think.  
        It's hardly worth it.  It's 
        heartbreaking  To each his own 
         Oh, yeah! There's a reason  You have resistance to germs 
         I don't! ...  Different departments! 
        ... The Nish-nish! Department.  It's 
        hiding under the couch.  It's high 
        school with money!  It's his second 
        childhood.  It's Hollywood calling! 
         It's hysterical  Someone should 
        make a movie of that  Very vindictive  So it's getting dumber 
        and dumber, in other words  Even you must understand that that's 
        the limit.  It's immense.  
        It's impossible to steal intellectual property 
        because of the maintenance.  It's in 
        development.  It's in my blood. 
         It's in the blood.  It's 
        in the phone book.  It's in the contract 
         Small print.  It's in the toilet. 
         It's inconceivable.  It's 
        inspiring, isn't it?  Just follow the rules.  It's 
        intimidating, isn't it?  Help me!  It's 
        just a basketball.  It's just a funny 
        thing.  It's just a pleasure ... You 
        can start a torture chamber.  It's 
        just an occupational hazard ... but with loaded dice.  
        It's just another friend.  It's 
        just another thing.  It's just another 
        way of looking at it.  It's just as 
        well.  It's just common sense to worship 
        the devil because God will forgive you.  It's 
        just dangerous.  It's just dreams to 
        cover up your impulses.  It's just 
        expressions of hatred.  It's just free. 
         It's just good to know.  It's 
        just hard to explain.  It's just honor. 
         It's just if you're nursing.  
        It's just knowing what to do and how to do it. 
         It's just like Antigone  She had 
        to pay a lot for her ideals.  It's 
        just like music  You have to build up a following.  It's 
        just money.  It's just more parents. 
         It's just not common knowledge, I guess. 
         It's just one more thing, right?  
        It's just regression  hormone storms. 
         It's just ridiculous to inflict this on 
        people.  It's just something you have 
        to learn.  It's just the law.  
        It's just to understand what's going on. 
         It's just unbelievable to someone of my 
        age.  It's just underneath everything. 
         It's just waiting.  It's 
        just what you're cooking up to torture yourself.  It's 
        Kafkaesque.  It's like a beast riding 
        at night.  It's like a charm.  
        It's like a dog-eat-dog world that we don't live 
        in.  It's like a genii in a bottle, 
        and sooner or later you pull the plug and your whole life will change. 
         It's like a gift.  It's 
        like a labyrinth you go through to find out who the curator is.  
        It's like a melon  You wouldn't buy one 
        if it's all cut up.  It's like a palace 
        ... From room to room ... What a house! ... Accordion to what?  
        It's like a pose.  It's 
        like a private club for those who aren't in the upper crust.  
        It's like an act of treachery.  It's 
        like Boom!  You just say it.  It's 
        like eating a hot fudge sundae.  It's 
        like flotsam on the surface of the sea.  It's 
        like foreign to you.  It's like getting 
        nibbled to death by ducks.  It's like 
        laying bricks.  It's like making a 
        kid kiss the dead people.  It's like 
        Old Bullshit National Park.  It's like 
        old shoes.  It's like people-proof. 
         It's like perfume to me.  It's 
        like Pinocchio.  It's like ten nights 
        in a barroom.  It's like the Fourth 
        Stooge, and he can't even afford a sweater  Very powerful 
         You know what Gurdjieff used to say  There's half a saint 
        every two hundred years.  It's like 
        the French court.  It's like the mask. 
         It's like the Middle Ages.  
        It's like the nineteenth hole, right?  
        It's like when you steal at work, and your hands 
        start sweating.  It's like wrestling 
        with a maniac!  It's like you don't 
        even have to think about it.  It's 
        like your mother is saying, "Wash your knuckles!" and your father 
        is saying, "You don't have to wash your knuckles."  
        It's magical.  It's 
        many things.  It's many things, isn't 
        it?  It's meaningless to someone of 
        my stature.  It's mind over matter. 
         It's more prestige than money.  
        It's much better to have something pleasant. 
         It's much different.  It's 
        much more old-fashioned than here.  It's 
        my dream, and I can change it if I want to!  It's 
        nature's way.  It's never enough! 
         They're just big talkers  It's a joke!  In the 
        time-money tradeoff, choose time  If you want more money, work 
        a little more!  It's a million times better!  Give 
        me time! This takes time!  I don't mind talking about it if 
        you don't mind talking about it  Last week you made a lot of 
        money?  How much? How much shit did you make for mom today, 
        and did you get a star?  I just made a blunder in toilet training 
         I made a vow never to talk about money!  It's 
        never what you think.  It's nice for 
        an old person  It's like a game.  It's 
        nice out.  It's nice to have a choice. 
         It's nice to have a little grey hair around. 
         It's nice to have something open. 
         It's nice to like someone.  
        It's nice to make mistakes.  It's 
        nicer in a way.  It's nicer than it 
        was.  It's no big deal.  
        It's no joke ... Anything else you want to talk 
        about? ... Don't take any shit from your own mind, or anyone else. 
         It's no picnic.  It's 
        not a bad thing to do.  It's not a 
        game for children.  It's not bad to 
        be weird; it's not bad to be crazy; because everyone is  If you 
        run into a group of people who likes you, you usually think they're weird 
         The only people who are famous are people who do weird things. 
         It's not bad to work hard at something, 
        to be proud of it, and to make a lot of money.  It's 
        not early for me.  It's not evil. 
         It's not for you.  It's 
        not for you  I've got something better for you.  
        It's not free.  It's 
        not going overboard for anything ... You have to find an inner barometer 
        ... Life is what you say it is.  It's 
        not going to be that hard.  It's not 
        going to bother me. It's all cats and rats, covered over with a little 
        shine.  It's not going to do YOU much 
        good.  It's not going to kill me. 
         It's not going to kill us.  
        It's not just that.  It's 
        not just words ... It means something ... Then you'll hear 
        the yes-but, you know, the giant asshole that comes out of the sky and 
        shit comes out of it.  It's not 
        lemonade, that's for sure!  It's not 
        like a car where you leave it off.  It's 
        not like I did it on purpose ... I don't mind that ... I don't care 
        that much ... They're nice people ... We're in trouble ... "I 
        can't say what I'm supposed to believe  I can only say what I am 
        ... I can't say what I'm supposed to say  I can only say what I 
        am." (Martin Luther) ... Everyone has done something they 
        shouldn't have ... It just must be built-in.  It's 
        not like that.  It's not my baby, toots. 
         It's not my family ... At least you have 
        someone to hate.  It's not my fault 
        if I'm rich.  It's not normal. 
         It's not over by any means.  
        It's not power and control people yearn for; 
        it's understanding and humor.  It's 
        not so easy to do.  It's not that. 
         It's not THAT bad.  It's 
        not that bad now  Okay, but don't hurt me!  It's 
        not that deep.  It's not that different 
        from heaven.  It's not that hard. 
         It's not that hard, is it?  
        It's not that often.  It's 
        not the end of the world, is it?  It's 
        not the same.  It's not the same ... 
        Just hold your breath.  It's not weird 
        enough for me yet!  It's not what track 
        you're on, it's the engine! ... If you don't like my apple, don't shake 
        my tree ... You're barking up the wrong tree!  It's 
        not what you do that brings success, it's what you don't do.  
        It's not what you think.  It's 
        not where you are; it's what's inside you.  It's 
        not worth it.  It's not your hatred 
        that did it.  It's nothing, money; 
        it's when you don't have it.  It's 
        obvious.  It's old-age thrills. 
         It's on the surface.  It's 
        one of many things.  It's one of my 
        designs.  It's one of the things that'll 
        bring peace to the world.  It's one 
        of the ways your tribe is allowed to express anger  You know, lording 
        it over other people ... sending food back.  It's 
        one of those mysteries  It's one of the mysteries that will be revealed. 
         It's only a few, right?  It's 
        only all the time if you have a French girlfriend.  It's 
        over the crest.  It's part of the mystique. 
         It's part of village life.  
        It's perfect ... Just right! ... Pretty special. 
         It's p.r.  It's 
        preposterous.  It's pretty silly if 
        you can get fresh.  It's pretty tough 
        carrying a 75-pound toilet around.  It's 
        probably what parents call laziness or noncooperation.  It's 
        proof I'm not looking for approval.  It's 
        reaching absurd proportions, isn't it?  It's 
        really amazing how far people go.  It's 
        really criminal.  It's really criminal 
        to treat your body as a friend.  It's 
        really deep.  It's really developed. 
         It's really good to steal from candy stores. 
         It's really hard to know.  It's 
        really hidden away.  It's really nice 
        to see something real.  It's really 
        not that much, is it?  It's really 
        shocking how many people are mean and sadistic. [See, "From 
        Someone Who Smells."]  It's really 
        subtle.  It's really ... what 
        do they call it? ... character building.  It's 
        really wild.  It's retro; it's elitist. 
         It's sad, isn't it? (They're using their 
        pain to hold onto something ... That's what they had in their childhood ... 
        pain.)  It's safe  The brakes 
        work.  It's so easy, you won't believe 
        it.  It's so extreme, you know? 
         It's so hard.  It's 
        so mean, isn't it? ... The idea of it!  It's 
        so nice out, I could leave it out all day.  It's 
        so real!  It's so sad, isn't it? 
         It's so warped and twisty, who cares? 
         It's solid.  It's 
        starting to come out.  It's stranger 
        than you think.  It's substantial. 
         It's taken for granted.  It's 
        that attention to detail  something small that's really expensive. 
         It's that first request to kill a guy 
        that keeps so many people from joining organized crime  We can add 
        a supplementary list of items you consider invaluable to the department 
         An honest document should satisfy the chairman. (Randy Cohen 
        in The New York Times, October 21, 2003)  It's 
        that old black magic.  It's that time 
        of year!  It's the animal in me. 
         It's the call of the wild.  
        It's the centennial.  It's 
        the cry of the jungle.  It's the family 
        who does hardly anything.  It's the 
        first business that never made any money  since the Church! 
         It's the first time I ever had the nerve 
        to try it.  It's the glitter.  
        It's the last thing you want to think about. 
         It's the left-behinds  He broke 
        his mother's heart  He went into the refrigerator business. 
         It's the little things.  It's 
        the memory.  It's the monkey in us. 
         It's the only game in town.  
        It's the only one I've ever seen.  
        It's the rhythm section.  It's 
        the Wild West.  It's timeless. 
         It's too bad it isn't true.  
        It's too bright! It's shining in my eyes. 
         It's too hard.  It's 
        too late now.  It's too luxurious. 
         It's totally unnecessary.  It's 
        tricky.  It's true!  It's 
        unbelievable.  It's under water. 
         It's universal.  It's 
        unknown.  It's unspeakable.  
        It's up to you.  It's 
        up to you what you spend your energy on, and if it isn't, you should make 
        it so  No one can stand between someone and God.  
        It's very disturbing to me.  It's 
        very easy to communicate with someone who doesn't listen to you.  
        It's very Egyptian.  It's 
        very frightening to have a mother and father.  It's 
        very frustrating to have to castrate yourself to get along with other 
        people.  It's very hard not to do something. 
         It's very hard to find something you like. 
         It's very hard to remember these things. 
         It's very hard to sit back and watch someone 
        suffering.  It's very hard to take. 
         It's very hard to understand  It's 
        not a lot  Your parents are enormous attention grabbers  
        Big shots!  Too many demands  People who put you down and 
        fill you with hurt are stealing your attention  The way they 
        act has nothing to do with the way they feel about you  They'll 
        do anything to get attention  If you ever want to talk to 
        someone, you can talk to me.  It's 
        very kind of you to pay me.  It's very 
        Latin to be rational in little things and totally irrational in big things. 
         It's very powerful.  It's 
        very, very close.  It's water over 
        the dam.  It's way in back ... 
        a mystery lover ... especially if you think you're bad.  It's 
        what they call the song of nothing.  It's 
        what you don't do.  It's what you don't 
        do that really helps you.  It's wicked. 
         It's WORSE if you just go along with the 
        herd.  IT'S WORTH IT!  It's 
        YOU!  You sneak up.  It's your 
        fault!
