"No, no, it's just, it came so quick, the ending, it surprised me. I thought there'd be a little more, is all. I mean, was the pirate ship waiting or was that just a rumor like it said?"
"Complain to Mr. Morgenstern. 'And they lived happily ever after' is how it ends."

—The Princess Bride

Lemony Snicket: "And so, the Baudelaire Children went to Peru, and together had many wonderful adventures with their loving and caring Uncle. The End." These are the words I so desperately wish to write. I would love nothing more than to say the Children found a new home.

—A Series of Unfortunate Events (The Film)
