"Oh, you couldn't begin to imagine the depths of my suffering there. I spent most of my days strung up like a damned pupating moth trapped above a delicate field of flowers where angels, fairies, and enchanted stuffed animals lived. They played songs and danced asinine jigs as if their only care in life was when they would get their next warm, fuzzy hug! Instead of ruling the universe with an iron fist, I was serenaded by teddy bears!"
— Frieza describing his personal Hell, Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'

Johnny sighed, finding Jonathan's attempt to cheer up sickeningly nice... but he nodded anyways.
