Desperate Housewife 14

My absolute favourite movieline is in Smilla's Sense Of Snow, the moment when Smilla - eyes shooting thunderbolts! - asks the mechanic:

"I make you nervous then...??"

Some things do tend to make us nervous, n'est-ce pas. Myself, I have an exceptionally nervous temperament - but honestly, it isn't that bad; nervosity is not fear, and it makes you agile, always on alert, ready to grasp the occasion most people miss - and that's a substantal asset, so, there is considerable compensation for the obvious drawbacks of it. Paradoxicallly,it may seem, nervous persons ferquently has excellent sleep, the organism keeping up the balance; scant need for those benzos.
