      The douche-room is behind that doorway yer man is coming down the stairs from.
      Dodgy dealings in that living room. Drug dealers? Pimps? Imagination running away from me?

    PVC, might get a little sweaty, but how about 5,000 of them at the back of the park.. sort out the housing crisis ..

    Once when I was trying to get back into one of these yokes, the door wouldn’t open.
    I kept telling HAL to open the door, but he wouldn’t open the door.
    And I really, really needed to get in.
