Laura (Imogen Poots), to best-friend Simon (Brett Goldstein), All of You (2025):
"I also found this box of letters, and they were between him (her father) and this woman who he must have been with before I was born. There's hundreds of them, and they're all her telling him about her day and how much she misses him...and not a day goes by in her life where she doesn't...he wasn't seeing her, he was just writing to her, and he kept them; every single one.
And, there's so much love in those letters. I never saw that with him and my mum. Really broke my heart. Why didn't he just go to her?
Simon, to Laura: Because he was with your mum? Because he had you. Because he was a decent man? Because that's how life is, isn't it?"
Later, Laura, to Simon: "We hurt people, and they don't even know we're doing it to them."
Simon, to Laura: "I'll miss you. Every single day."

"Édouard Manet. 1875. He used to sit in cafes and try to paint people, but never finished anything because they would get up. And then one day, he saw a reflection of himself, and he painted it. He says that in that moment he realized that he could be an artist, because he couldn't recognize himself; the painting showed him who he truly was." -Steve (Taylor Gray) to Sara (Alexandra Templer), Any Day Now, 2025.

These warning tags are ubiquitous:
"By law, a warning must be given for listed chemicals unless the exposure is low enough to pose no significant risk of cancer or is significantly below levels observed to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm." - Official website of the State of California
Simply expressed, a product having a Proposition 65 warning tag signifies exposure to potentially-harmful chemicals is high enough to pose a significant risk of cancer, and meets or significantly exceeds levels of chemicals observed to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
The number of "listed chemicals" now exceeds 900, and is updated yearly.

Lines I found notable from the movie, "How to Train Your Dragon" (Dreamworks 2025):
Medieval Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for centuries. Dragons steal livestock and endanger people in the village, prompting Vikings to aggressively attack them: "...killing a dragon is everything around here."
Hiccup (Mason Thames), insightful teenage son of Stoick, the Chieftan (Gerard Butler): "They're not what we think they are. We don't have to kill them. They defend themselves, that's all."
Hiccup, hypothesizing dragons may simply be trying to survive as Vikings take land and resources: "I'm just saying, maybe we're part of the problem."
Hiccup: "I wouldn't kill him (a dragon) because he looked just as frightened as I did."
Astrid (Nico Parker), teenage warrior, to Hiccup, on being insightful: "You have something I don't; something none of us have."

Lines I found notable from the movie, "Hello Beautiful" (2025):
Willow (Tricia Helfer), a successful, vivacious model facing a devastating life event: "It was a warm day in December when I decided to kill myself."
Kahlil, Willow's husband (Tarek Bishara): "I wish that you could see yourself through my eyes."
Willow: ...that I should just end it, give up, so everyone around me doesn't suffer so much."
Willow: "More drastic steps? I am already on a roller coaster in hell. There's something worse?"
Kahlil: "You are fighting for our kids; you are fighting for us."
Maryam, Willow's mother-in-law (Susan Shaloub Larkin): "I should be apologizing to you, for not seeing who you really are. Your courage and determination astound me."
The last spoken words in the movie are from Kahlil: "Hello, beautiful."
"A Taste of Leawood" was a rousing success.
Thank you to the participating restaurants who made it a first-class event.

Driving at or above this level is a criminal offense and can result in arrest, vehicle impoundment, license suspension, and potentially jail time and fines.

Even the most-experienced professional drummers can develop complications.
On one of the hottest, most-humid evenings this summer, Aaron Hetherington performed non-stop with The Suburbans for over two hours.
It was brutal, and he never missed a beat.
Intense playing, perspiration, and high humidity can cause drummers to grip their sticks differently as they attempt to maintain a secure, yet relaxed grip. This can increase friction and discomfort.
Drummers also tape on their hands in instances like this.
