1 " Then it suddenly and theatrically began to clean itself in the way cats do when they want you to know what a big deal you aren't. "
― Adam Rex , Cold Cereal (The Cold Cereal Saga, #1)
2 " She even tried the one which every romantic nerve in her body insisted should work, which consisted of theatrically giving up, sitting down, and letting her glance fall naturally on a patch of earth which, if she had been in any decent narrative, should have contained the book.It didn't. "
― Terry Pratchett , Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
3 " Gail loved to talk about how stressed she was. She would do this thing where we'd be walking in the hallway, and suddenly she'd stop in her tracks, rub both of her temples with her index and middle fingers, and theatrically let out a deep guttural moan: " Mooooog." " Mooog. Minz. I am just so stressed out," she'd say. " I just want to go home, open a bottle of red wine, draw up a hot bath, light some candles and listen to David Gray." A note about me: I do not think stress is a legitimate topic of conversation, in public anyway. No one ever wants to hear how stressed out anyone else is, because most of the time everyone is stressed out. Going on and on in detail about how stressed out I am isn't conversation. It'll never lead anywhere. No one is going to say, " Wow, Mindy, you really have it especially bad. I have heard some stories of stress, but this just takes the cake. "
