-->--(spoken while she's midway through ''Literature/FinnegansWake,'' popularly considered one of the most impenetrable novels ever written)

->'''Wheatley:''' ''[sound of pages turning]'' Oh, sorry. Hope that didn't disturb you just then. It was the sound of books. Pages being turned. So that's just what I was doing. I was just reading... ah... books. [-([[FeigningIntelligence So I'm not a moron.]])-] Anyway, just finished the last one. The '''hardest''' one. [[NiccoloMachiavelli Machiavelli.]] Do ''not'' know what all the fuss was about. Understood it ''perfectly.'' Have you read that one? Yeah, doubt it--\\

->''"And the award for the most pretentious title goes too... "Wrongs Darker than Death or Night"! In a hotly competitive race against other stalemates such as "Nor the Battle to the Strong", "The Darkness and the Light", "Ties of Blood and Water" and "[[PretentiousLatinMotto Inter Arma Enim Silent Lege]]s" this has to be the most tongue twistingly over the top episode title. Especially when the wrongs aren’t anywhere near as dark as death or night. I realise a lot of these titles have been selected from poems and sayings but the sad truth of the matter is that plenty of poetry and proverbs are pretty pretentious too.
