300

All I’m sayin’ is, if I am ever called upon to amass an army… I want a giant triceratops on my team. Oh, and one of those enormous creatures (Sloth in chains? Goonies fans, holla back) to bunch up his fists and snarl menacingly at the camera.

Remember, the only regret worth having is that you didn’t tell someone that you loved him before you’re speared to death by rampaging silver-masked Persians, led by a man with too-carefully plucked eyebrows.

No retreat, baby, no surrender. (Apologies to the Boss.)

Just when I thought it was getting kind of obnoxious that I talk about most of the things I’m excited about in highly sexual terms, at least in certain company…

Pamie has saved my vulgar little behind.

Thank you, Pamie.

scene from a bachelorette party

ALEX: So, um, pamie. How are you holding up? …You know, with the whole Johnny Depp thing.
PAMIE: What? WHAT?! WHAT HAPPENED?
ALEX: Oh. I thought you would have known. His kid is sick.
PAMIE: Really? Which one?
ALEX: I… well, I didn’t know he had more than one.
PAMIE: HE HAS TWO.
ALEX: Okay. The one with the weird name.
PAMIE: Lily Rose? What’s wrong?
ALEX: I guess she got a cut? And it got infected?
PAMIE: Is it staph or sepsis?
ALEX: Um…
PAMIE: STAPH OR SEPSIS?
ALEX: Jesus! I don’t know. Ask Katey. She probably knows.

[Katey is the only person I've ever known whose dedication to All Things Depp rivals mine.]

PAMIE: Katey! Katey! How’s Lily Rose?
KATEY: She’s fine. She’s okay.
PAMIE: Good. Hey, do you know about the movie that’s so good that I haven’t been able to sleep since I found out about it?
KATEY: I can’t wait to find out.
PAMIE: It doesn’t exist yet, but when I tell you about it, you’re never going to sleep again.
KATEY: Tell me.
PAMIE: Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie are doing Wuthering Heights.

[A moment of silence as four women lose their breath.]

KATEY: That’s…
PAMIE: I know. I know!
KATEY: Oh. Oh, my God.
LIZ: I just… God, I want to fuck that movie so hard.
PAMIE: I know! I want that movie inside of me.
KATEY: I so need that movie in me.
PAMIE: Right now. In me. Right here. I want that movie on my face. I want that movie screaming my name.
LIZ: Oh, my God. That is a seriously hot movie.
PAMIE: Even if it sucks, it’s going to be SO AWESOME.
LIZ: I want to bend that movie over and just… oh, man!
KATEY: Why isn’t everybody talking about this all the time?
JESSICA: You know what would make that movie better? If they switched the roles. If Angelina Jolie played Heathcliff–
PAMIE: Oh, Jessica. Oh, my God. That’s the best idea of all time!
JESSICA: Because she’s so masculine and hot, and Johnny would be so feminine as Cathy! So hot!
PAMIE: I can’t handle how hot this is! Call them! Call them now and make it happen! It’s the best idea ever!
JESSICA: Post it on pamie.com! Get it out there in the universe!
LIZ: Use the power of The Secret! Make it happen!
PAMIE: Okay!
