Okay, then I'll ask for less nausea, too! How about none?

We could deal with that!

I'm so sad over this. /Harry discourse/threadjack

Unless she's done something spectacularly stupid I haven't read yet, I don't think your Harry is a dumbunny.

Clearly they need to invent something akin to a pocket neurologist for times like this.

"Is that a doctor in your pocket or are you just happy to see the painkillers"?

Oh, and do I need to see Arsenic and Old Lace?

Yes. It really was one of my formative movies. I am reluctant to describe the plot, except that it looks as though it's going to belong to a certain genre of romantic comedy and then it screwballs off into something astonishingly twisted, which it mostly keeps you from noticing because it's directed by Frank Capra. There are a few lines that were famously bowdlerized for the Hays Code, but seriously, there's a hell of weird in there. It almost certainly imprinted me on Peter Lorre for life.
