    I was a closet pacifier advocate. So were most of my friends. Unknown to our mothers, we owned thirty or forty of those little suckers that were placed strategically around the house so a cry could be silenced in less than thirty seconds.

    David Mamet, U.S. screenwriter, and Brian DePalma. Jimmy Malone (Sean Connery)

    And girls you have to tell to pull their socks up
    Are those whose pants you’d most like to pull down.
