The Ice Storm - A Cold Exchange Between Family Members

Sandy Carver: Where are you going?
Sandy Carver: Its freezing!
Sandy Carver: Then why are you going?
Mikey Carver: When it's freezing...because it means the molecules aren't moving, so when you breath, there's nothing in the air, you know, you breathe into your body, the molecules have stopped, it's clean.

The Ice Storm - The Connection Between Smell and Molecules

Mikey Carver: Because of molecules we are connected to the outside world from our bodies. Like when you smell things, because when you smell a smell it's not really a smell, it's a part of the object that has come off of it, molecules. So when you smell something bad, it's like in a way you're eating it. This is why you should not really smell things, in the same way that you don't eat everything in the world around you because as a smell, it gets inside of you. So the next time you go into the bathroom after someone else has been there, remember what kinds of molecules you are in fact eating.

Elrond: He will come to death, an image of the splendour of the kings of men in glory undimmed before the breaking of the world. But you, my daughter, you will linger on in darkness and in doubt, as nightfall in winter that comes without a star. Here you will dwell, bound to your grief, under the fading trees, until all the world is changed and the long years of your life are utterly spent.

I regret to announce this is the end. I'm going now. I bid you all a very fond farewell. Goodbye.
