Right? You always get that sort. 'Oh! It doesn't matter now, so I'll just nail it then!' [She brings a hand down on the table, rather jovially punctuating the point.]
Lady's plumage you will! It ain't practice that makes perfect, it's perfection that makes perfect. If you're not doing every little thing right every single time, you're gonna' cock it up. And if you're cocking it up all the time in practice when it isn't permanent, you're gonna cock it up when it actually godsdamn matters, because pressure? That's a bitch those sorts never expect to be nearly as big a deal as it always is.
That's just not how I roll. Dying's not permanent? Great! Still never doing it, thanks. Same for big risks, like most forms of gambling for cash and anything involving a racy white dress, a couple too many bottles of wine, a ring, and a hotel room with a sunrise view.
