The party in power like Jonah's gourd grew up quickly and will quickly fall.

Together often by unanimous vote the council has worked quickly to get positive results.

The dumber half of the audience - whether they're male or female and a lot of them are male - for some reason responds very quickly to the feminine voice. How can I put it? They kind of instantly react to the female voice in a positive way quicker than they would the male voice.

Everything that's bad for you catches on too quickly in America because that's the easiest thing to get people to invest in the pursuits that are easy and destructive the ones that bring out the least positive aspects of people.

When we talk about safety and security of the American people politics falls aside pretty quickly.

And I think it takes a couple of listens to actually really get it.

When you see violence in movies in general it's very quick and painless which isn't what it's like.
