"Whaa, I'm Brad Pitt. I'll crush you." [audience laughs] "With my hand!"
I can't live by your rules, man!
Being guilty tends to engender feelings of guilt.

High school is tough on anyone, an absolute rule of the Universe being that if high school is not a buttockclenchingly awkward, emotionally difficult, and unpleasant time of your life, then the rest of it will be a crushing disappointment.

[When beginning the cold open with another person] Please state your name for the camera.
It's all about the triumph of intellect and romance over brute force and cynicism.
