Know that there are vulgar people everywhere... They speak like fools and impudently criticize others. Great disciples of ignorance, godfathers of idiocy, avid for degrading gossip. Pay no attention to what they say, and less to what they feel.

My brother in law recently became a veterinarian and it has really driven the point home as to how fucking bonkers veterinary medicine is. We don't expect human physicians to really know much outside of their own specialty - a dentist, an otolaryngologist, and a maxillofacial surgeon are three totally different dudes. Meanwhile a veterinarian at a wildlife rehab center is doing orthopedic surgery on a hawk and then doing rounds on baby hedgehogs in the hedgehog NICU and administering antibiotics to a ratsnake. And he also knows how to perform surgical interventions on a cow! What the fuck! Those are all totally, wildly different kinds of animal!!

Shout out to veterinarians, they know Too Much.

OBI WAN: I don't understand, Count. Why did your eyes not turn red or yellow when you became a Sith?

ANAKIN: That is true. Why is that? It's your age? I mean, you are an old man after all...

DOOKU (sighing): I just never liked contact lenses.

ANAKIN: What?

...

DOOKU: Great. Now I have to kill you both.
