If not for him, I probably would not have made a connection between The Matrix and The Last Dragon.

An inner strength you'll find in time of need

ME: I'm wearing 'Laudanum' (reading description) "The essence of the most debauched hunger encapsulated into a perfume. Desire beyond love, anguish beyond sanity. Nutmeg, sassafras, black poppy and myrrh."

E.I.: You smell like a big cookie.

ME: No, I smell like anguish beyond sanity, dammit.
