Robert Greene's essay, "Days in May"

"For a few hours, though, I forget about all that. 'Welcome to Earth,' says Will Smith as he punches an alien in the face."

There are so many reasons why I love this particular sentence in Robert's essay. For one thing, it provides the reader with comic relief after the weight of the previous two paragraphs in which the narrator's parents express thier concern over their son's apparent anti-social behavior. We, the readers get a break, but (just as importantly,) does the narrator. Finally, his parents support some good Sci-Fi (sorta).
