" I know you don't like to admit it, Happy, but it's all science, all of the time. Ghosts, demons, the afterworlds- all of existence and everything beyond- it's all science. We don't always understand it yet, that's all. Now hush like a good bunny and let me get on with my work, or I'll start throwing words like -quantum- around, and you know how you hate that. "

" Elvis, as we all know, was so full of pills when he died they had to bury him in a coffin with a childproof lid. By the time he died, the man’s system was saturated with every weird drug under the sun, including several he had made up specially. So my appalling friends sneaked into Graceland under cover of a heavy-duty camouflage spell, dug up Elvis’s body, and replaced it with a simulacrum. Then they scampered back home with their prize. You can see where this is going, can’t you? They cremated Elvis’s body, collected the ashes, and smoked them. The word is, there’s no high like … a pinch of Elvis. "
