AFB, but Vlad said something similar to "my soul would have gone to feed a sentience in six inches of steel" in Jhereg (I think). It's the sort of line that sticks with you.

It would put fugu consumption to shame. "They'll even cut a tin can! AAAARGH!" "Looks like we need /another/ actor. We should find out if they're cheaper by the dozen."
