"The year after the Super Bowl loss I watched the season opener at my neighborhood bar in Philly. The place was packed with your typical Eagles fans — lots of mustaches, jorts, Westbrook jerseys and Marb Light smoke.
The next morning, every telephone pole on my street had a yellow flyer stapled to it. It was an alert saying there had been an attempted sexual assault on the block the previous night.
The description of the attacker: White male, mid-30's, stocky build, mustache, wearing an Eagles jersey.

"No matter what city I'm in, the news is always the same, the suspect always the same unidentified black male. I'm in Atlanta tonight, and I swear the police sketch of the black male suspect on TV looks just like the black male suspect I saw on the news last night in Denver and the night before in L.A. In every sketch he's frowning, he's menacing-and he's wearing the same knit cap! Is it possible that it's the same black guy committing every crime in America?"

Dragon: What we have is this: the target is male, he is an accomplished mountain climber. We learned this from a note we intercepted. Also, a witness said he limped.
Hemlock: Well, that's fine. Now all I have to do is kill every mountain climber with a sore foot.

When I was born, I was a baby,
To my mother, who was my mom.
But the father I had,
Well, he was my dad,
And I come from the place where I’m from!

Kazuma: ...a little earlier today you said something to me. You said your powers of observation are the one thing you're sure of.
Ryunosuke: Oh, yes... I think I did, didn't I?
Kazuma: Yet your description for this amazing sight was simply "a woman". Sorry, Ryunosuke, but powers of observation aside, your powers of description are sorely lacking.

"The very first CIA drone strike back in 2002 killed 3 men, reportedly because they thought one of them 'might have been Bin Laden in part' — and this is true — 'due to his height,' and under that rationale, it's kind of remarkable that we didn't take out Jeff Goldblum at some point over the years."
James Bond: How will I recognize [Francisco Scaramanga]?
Andrea Anders: Tall, slim and dark.
James Bond: So's my aunt. Anything distinctive about him?
Andrea Anders: Yes, but how can I tell you? He's not like other men. [gestures toward her chest] He has three...
James Bond: Fascinating anatomical tidbit. But probably the most useless piece of information I've ever heard. Unless, of course, the "Bottoms Up" is a strip club and Scaramanga is performing.
