Darryl Zero: Passion is the enemy of precision. Forget the misnomer crime of passion. All crime is passionate. It's passion that moves the criminal to act, that disrupts the static inertia of morality.

Darryl Zero
Darryl Zero: The bed we just moved is a full-size bed. In 1972, there was no size called full. They had doubles and queens. The full was invented to combine the width of a queen with the space-efficient length of a double, and eventually replaced the double in North America and Europe, except for Quebec and Sweden.
