- Nick: After a wonderful evening of magical music, dear friends and indeed hot girls, do you know what I dreamed about last night? Rahm Emmanuel. I need to take my sub-conscious outside and give it a stern talking-to.
- Martin: Was it a sex dream about Rahm Emmanuel? Tell me it was. I promise to keep it a secret if so. No. Really.
- Nick: Well he's a very intense man. Some people might find that attractive...
- Martin: He'd have to be pretty fucking intense to overcome the fact that he has a dick. I mean, we'd have to be talking about one determined motherfucking politician here.
- Nick: Dude, if we were in Pulp Fiction, I'd definitely be Jules.
- Martin: No way dude. I am way blacker than you. Compared to your lily-white ass I am positively motherfucking Nubian. You can be Jimmie.
- Nick: I'll be honey bunny.
- Martin: New nickname. Self chosen. No take-backsies.

More than a year after an explosion of sparks, soot and frigid helium shut it down, the world’s biggest and most expensive physics experiment, known as the Large Hadron Collider, is poised to start up again. In December, if all goes well, protons will start smashing together in an underground racetrack outside Geneva in a search for forces and particles that reigned during the first trillionth of a second of the Big Bang.
Then it will be time to test one of the most bizarre and revolutionary theories in science. I’m not talking about extra dimensions of space-time, dark matter or even black holes that eat the Earth. No, I’m talking about the notion that the troubled collider is being sabotaged by its own future.
Essay - The Collider, the Particle and a Theory About Fate - NYTimes.com- Nick: You don't like Family Guy? How is that possible? It's like the Simpsons, only funnier!
- Hannah: Well, I don't like the Simpsons either.
- Nick: ...
- Martin: ...
- Hannah: I might like it if it wasn't on all the time! There's too much of it!
- Martin: Hmm. You mean it's like.. too much of a good thing? No matter how awesome something is, if you get overexposed to it, it becomes a chore?
- Hannah: Sort of..
- Martin: I don't know. I mean, some things you never get tired of. Like great sex? You can't have too much great sex. I think the Simpsons are like that.
- Hannah: ...
- Nick: You're comparing the Simpsons to great sex?
- Martin: No, they're not equivalent. I'm just saying, they share the attribute that you can't really get too much of them.
- Hannah: Even if you do both at once?
- Martin: Theoretically, having amazing sex while watching the Simpsons should be the best experience you could have, and you'd never get tired of it.
- Nick: Martin, if you ever watch the Simpsons during sex, that woman will never sleep with you again.
- Martin: That just means the world's best sexual partner is Helen Keller.
