It's not so much what she says but the way she says it.

David, I love her, but can only take her in small doses. My poor daughter has been struggling with Emily in her English class this year. All that whittled speak and taut breath and close quartered end rhyme can grow tiresome, but when it comes to the big, cosmic question-marks and the paleo paradoxes, there's just no disputing she's a frackin' genius.
