“We've learned that certain foods help counteract the murderous urge. If it happens to you and you actu. ally have enough energy to stand up and move around, fry up some bacon or eat a pint of ice cream, or have a couple of slices of bread with butter."
"So, fatty foods."

“in one in about two hundred fifty injections, the recipient feels the urge for, let's just say, intense and homicidal violence. Like, 'murder everyone in the building and build a pyre with their skulls' level of violence."
"I can understand that," I assured her.
"No, you can't," she assured me back. "Fortunately, there's a direct and accompanying side effect of extreme lassitude, which keeps most people from acting on the urge."
"So, like, 'I want to kill you but that would mean leaving the couch."
