He knew he should have counted. It was the rule to count to ten in his head before he opened his mouth. It was the rule to count to ten if he wanted to smash a man in the face for saying something he didn't like. It was the rule to count to ten if instinct wasn't needed, but common sense was. ~Melina Marchetta

My dad in particular, I tend to use; I call him "The Brain." If he's accessible, I'd rather put it through his brain.

So anything worth mulling over, I will mull over with my father, and that includes ratings. ~Joshua Malina
