'Why I'm not my cheery self? It's tax-time...'

'This is great fiction! My cousin, an agent in Hollywood, may be able to sell book and movie rights.'

'Just because I can explain the theory of relativity doesn't mean I understand the tax code.'

'...I also do some work for the tax department.'

'Definitely not unusual behavior this time of year, but certainly seldom witnessed!'
