Winry: Hey, you! Don't mess up my automail! You know how hard I worked on that?!
Edward: Hell, if it's half as hard as you throw a wrench, I'd be surprised! For real, you could try acting more like a girl and less like a gearhead.
Winry: You think I'm a gearhead, that’s fine, but you had better get used to it! Cause as long as you're wearing my automail, you're stuck with this gearhead whether you like it or not!

Mona Lisa: If you will look in the manual, you will see that this particular model faucet requires a range of 10-16 foot pounds of torque. I routinely twist the maximum allowable torquage.
Vinny: How can you be sure you used "16 foot pounds of torque"?
Mona Lisa: Because I used a Craftsman model 1019 Laboratory edition, signature series torque wrench. The kind used by Caltech high-energy physicists and NASA engineers.
Vinny: In that case, how can you be sure that's accurate?
Mona Lisa: Because a split-second before the torque wrench was applied to the faucet handle, it had been calibrated by top members of the state and federal Departments of Weights and Measures to be dead-on balls accurate. Here's the certificate of validation.
Vinny: "Dead-on balls accurate"?
Mona Lisa: It's an industry term.
Vinny: [turned on] I guess the fuckin' thing is broken.

Give me a circuit board and some Eezo and I'll have this thing making precision jumps.
