Rubyisms discussed in the episode:
- Cynics are just disappointed romantics.
- Tradition makes you focus on the wrong things. Want people to remember your wedding? Skip the cake and spend that money on a choreographer for your first dance. No one cares about cake anyway.
- Make your violence beautiful. Make your violence, beautiful.
- Just because something is illegal doesn't mean it's wrong. Laws often have an ulterior motive.
