"When you enjoy something you must never let the logic get too
much into the way. Like the villans in the James Bond
film whenever Bond breaks into the complex -
'Ah Mr Bond, welcome, come in, let me show you my entire evil plan and then put you in a death machine that doesn't work' "-Jerry Seinfield-
(sein language, 1993)
