“It's a sausage. A special sausage. A Dachshund sausage. A special little frankfurter. It's heaven in a bun. It's what all of civilisation has been heading towards...If I'd have known, growing up in Flanders, that one day I would get to taste a hot dog. Well!”

They somehow just fit better in those boxes, so they can't see what fitting has cost them, not like we can.”
