#1 I've always found that people who are panicking have a tendency to talk too much, almost to the point of blubbering. Do you find that true, Jake?

#6 I just picture a blubbering Jacques, telling the French that they will learn to like eating tea and crumpets rather than wine and croissants with snail paste. ''See, see, I am drinking ze tea, and it is not poisonous. Rather bland and tasteless but it can be done by you common people!''
