Viewed from a distance, or through the eye of the All-Knowing CEO of the Universe, the crash of 2008 followed the usual pattern. A long-lived boom driven by cheap credit, going back as far as 1982 (though subject to interruptions in the mid-1980s and 1990s, and in 2001), came to grief because of a rise in the cost of borrowing money. ↗

Love this quote when the Argeneau boys all go to find their mum without their life mates, and Margurite questions them about how unhappy they will be about it. Vincent says, "She'll have a fit, throw a tantrum, i'll grovel a bit, and we'll have make-up sex". Now ain't that just typical blokes, although it often works in our favour eh girls when they wanna get back in good books LOL! ↗

Um suggests someone interrupted before they'd begun. Um is a fifteen-year-old girl who gets hit by a taxicab in front of a mall on the way to help pick out a prom dress for a prom she isn't even going to, for God's sake. ↗
