Quotes 

• Sir : Call me Sir. Everybody does because I tell them to. I'm the boss. They have to do what I say, even my partner here.

  Klaus Baudelaire : Doesn't "partner" mean "equal"?

  Lemony Snicket : Well, in fact, "partners" can mean several things. It could mean "two people who own a lumbermill together, or a cupcakery." Now, with the advent of more progressive cultural mores, not to mention certain High Court rulings, it could also mean...

  Sir : I do all the work. He irons my clothes.

  Charles : I also cook your omelets.

  Lemony Snicket : The definitions are not mutually exclusive.

• Lemony Snicket : As anyone who's been to a doctor knows, doctors are not necessarily your friends, any more than butchers, mail deliverers, or refrigerator repair people are your friends.

• Lemony Snicket : "Out of the woods" is an expression referring to the fact that woods are dangerous places to be. In Hansel and Gretel, two siblings enter the woods and are menaced by an elderly cannibal. In Little Red Riding Hood, a wolf enters the woods and is menaced by a rude little girl. In Walden, a poet enters the woods and is menaced by revelations that we should abandon civilization and live by a pond. It is for that reason that "out of the woods" has come to mean "a return to safety, away from menace and disturbing revelations."

• Lemony Snicket : "Optimist" is not to be confused with "optometrist," a word meaning "healthcare professional who performs eye exams." Though both can be dangerous.
