A Lot of S#it Happens in 2020 it Seems?
I watched episode 7 from season 4 today for the first time and nearly fell off the bench when I heard the Cigarette Smoking Man give his box of chocolates piss-take to a homeless guy who was sitting on the bench next to him eating from a box of chocolates he had fished out of a bin, while the Cigarette Smoking Man holds a lit cigarette and says,
"Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while there's a peanut butter cup or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast and the taste is... fleeting. So, you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts. And if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you got left is an empty box filled with useless brown paper wrappers."
