The words of Jim Friel

I just thought I'd pass on some words given by my lecturer today as I can't see any other context than an IW lecture, besides a crazy drug trip, that these words might be said. Jim has an excellent knack for showing you the weaker parts of your thoughts and writing whilst making you cry with laughter at the same time. This quote was one of his finer moments - I'll explain the context afterwards.

"Yeah, but she's having five babies..and one of them's a puppy!"

OK, the context was that we were debating about whether a character was in enough danger for us to care whether she lived or died. Someone said that they didn't really have any emotional tie to the character even if she was pregnant and in danger, the above was Jim's response to this.

Word - recapitulate
