A million and a half people ride the El trains every day. Over 20 years, I’ve written wills for about 8.000 of ‘em. I’ve sat with 'em as they’ve combed through their assets. Figured out which kid gets the painting over the fireplace, which one gets the antique spoon collection. Last thanks, parting shots, confessions… People try to fit it all in. And once I’ve finished, another life has been summed up — assets and debts tallied, then zeroed out. You initial here and there, you sign at the bottom… then, If you’re like most clients, you look up, smile, and you ask the question I’ve heard for 20 years: “Is that it, then?” “That’s it for the paperwork”, I tell 'em. “The rest is up to you.” SHALL WE DANCE? (2004) dir. Peter Chelsom

This is apparently what was contained in the original message that invented the :-) and I’m obsessed with Fahlman’s diction here

ending questions with !! instead of ?? is always so fun. asking my friend ‘how was your day!!!!’ to convey that im equally excited to just talk to them as i am to receive the actual information. if not more so
