Quote from Martin in Good Grief
Niles: Oh, well, this is good. It means he's reached the anger stage. In due course he'll go through bargaining, depression, and finally acceptance. Martin: What's bargaining? Niles: Oh, well, it's like when a person makes a deal with God to spare their life. Martin: Oh, yeah, I know all about that. I remember right after I got shot, I said, "God, if I promise never to drink another bottle of Ballantines, would you let me get through this?" Niles: Dad, you still drink Ballantines. Martin: Not in bottles, baby.
