"Ha! In your face Dr. Biller! Looks like I've got 31 weeks left to live, not 10."
Carl Boucher,
Dietary Aide
"That's great news. Every moment on this earth is precious, and if you if live in the United States, it's like it counts double."
Susan Canfield,
Unemployed
"21 weeks? That's five months. That's almost half a year. Wow. Yeah, I guess I just don't really care about the environment."
