The old WTC was brilliant at distance, even though it might have been different close by.
The elegance of simplicity.

I'm being sincere too when I say I like the old WTC. Especially because they were twins.

You know, Boris, we may disagree on a lot, but we also agree on a great many things.
I'd still slay you if I had the chance, though.
