The line you're looking for, Simone, is "All things being equal, I'd rather be in Philadelphia." And it is usually used ironically.

Also, "Yo!"

I was working A2 today, and a nice woman came by to thank the crews that saved her husband's life two Mondays ago. Her husband is home now and doing well. I know it was you guys on that call. Just thought I'd let you know! Merry Christmas!

Not possible. No way.

If LA kidnaps me I would only expect a squad of poets to come rescue me.

I only have class on Wednesday nights next semester...I'm going to be so depressed.

Miss you already.
