And what is that, besides something spelled out in light bulbs, I mean - besides something called a temperament, which consists mostly of swooping about on a broomstick and screaming at the top of my voice? Infants behave the way I do, you know.

We are all busy little bees, full of stings, making honey day and night. Aren't we honey? ~ Margo Channing, All About Eve.
