Me: I know Ben Folds didn’t mean it quite so literally, but…
Him: Nick Hornby already did that in “31 Songs”.
Me: I know, but I only recently heard the song for the first time. Don’t you think it sounds like a Greek chorus doing a comedy that turns out to be a tragedy?

I just watched what I think is the best Six Feet Under episode ever (that I remember, at least).
This episode, Nate says to Claire, “I just flashed on Maya at your age, sitting in front of the TV and feeling sorry for herself, not caring about anything or anybody. It just broke my heart”. And [...]
