Quote of the Show:

She was a lovely girl. The sort of person you expected to see in a Choir loft-about three hours after choir practice had ended. Her hair was red, her eyes were as cold as rigamortis. And you knew the first time you met her that you’d been seeing her too often…She was as safe a tap dancer on a floor full of dynamite caps.
