I am literally laughing out loud at both of these. I also like how the second sentence could also be read as the veal cutlets going through the girlfriends.
At a movie studio where I worked we had the Board of Shame where we'd pin lines from screenplays. My all-time favorite was Fear burned like piss in his veins.
Just... what? How would you know what piss feels like in your veins? Are you a piss junkie? More importantly, why would you think that was such a good metaphor that it should be repeated on a later page of the same screenplay as Power burned like piss in his veins.
