The giver.

Horse sense.

But it was all a dream.

New look, same great taste.

Mall rat.

Memories are made into this.

Text adherents.

Tomorrow dies.

No brain, some gain.

Institutional memory.

We are Groot.

A special tense.

Total recall.

Fade away or here to stay?

You’ve got a friend in me.

The art of forgetting.

The claw chooses who will stay.

Pay me what you owe me.

Lucky seven.
