Desperate Times of Opportunity
Алексеевич: Do you remember Josh?
Percy: Um, yeah. The guy who was trying to weasel an exam out of you.
Алексеевич: Well, something happened last Friday that made me think of Desperate Housewives.
Harry: How so?
Алексеевич: I’ve always thought that they get out of problems way too easily. Whenever any of them has a problem, an unlikely opportunity is always waiting around the corner.

Saboteur!
Aeras: Has it ever happened to you that on the days when you’re running late is when you tend to sabotage yourself?
Percy: Um… what?
Aeras: I don’t know if it was yesterday or the day before, but inexplicably I started running late for work. I was on the freeway and I sort of spaced out whilst driving. As you may know, I usually drive on the slow lane because my car...

To miss someone
Alekseyevich: Is it possible to miss someone who’s standing right there in front of you?
Percy: I don’t think so, but I guess so. Why do you ask?
Алексеевич: I ran into someone today. I hadn’t seen him in a very long time — can’t remember how long. We were sitting on a bench outside school, talking, and this wave of nostalgia —something like… forgotten...

Saw: The Video Game
I finished playing Saw: The Video Game. I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised.
Having read the advice of reviewers that you should pick up this game if you’re a fan of the films, I was expecting a rather crappy experience.
Percy: So what did you think?
Harry: Well, I enjoyed it. There was this general simplicity to every element of the game. From the music to the fighting system...
