Quote of the Day: Sleepy Hollow
From "The Golem" (1.10):
Crane: I'm still reconciling today's language and its advancements. For example, in my era a "toilet" was a vanity cabinet. "Intercourse" meant, simply, social conversation. "Awful" meant awe-inspiring.
Abbie: So if I went out with a guy and we had "awful intercourse", we'd be going on a second date?
Crane: Disconcerting, yet accurate.
Abbie: That's just weird.
