Leo: Yeah.
Margaret: I can sign the President's name. I have his signature down pretty good.
Leo: You can sign the President's name?
Margaret: Yeah.
Leo: On a document removing him from power and handing it to someone else?
Margaret: Yeah. Or... do you think the White House Counsel would say that was a bad idea?
Leo: I think the White House Counsel would say it was a coup d'etat!
Margaret: Well. I'd probably end up doing some time for that.
7. CJ: "What are you, 4'10"?"
Annabeth: "4'11"."
CJ: "I can't believe we're the same species."
There. I sorta doctored what Anna-Lisa did, but it's close enough, at least in the spirit of it all.

i think that's the coolest list of words ever. really though on a daily basis how often do you use each of those words?
well, some of them I use often, because I like them. Irokesenschnitt I said just this Saturday. My students generally request the Portuguese words. I say sipo and d'ac whenever possible. Megan calls me Yad when I talk to her. And my friends who know the "ustedes hermanas" story like to bring it up whenever possible.
My faves are #3 & #6 under cool words. Sorry about the tagging. I actually didn't know what that meant! I know, you're not surprised, right?
teeheehee. SWENSON!
um and i love paralelepípedo. paralelepípedo, paralelepípedo. oh, i was just walking down the street this morning, you know it's paved with those paralelepípedos...
Margaret: Want to hear a joke?
Leo: Uh... Okay.
Margaret: You know why they only eat one egg for breakfast in France?
Leo: Why?
Margaret: 'Cause in France, one egg is 'un oeuf'.
