Softly, Softly, Catchee Monkey

An old English proverb founded by a boy scout, meaning: "Don't flurry; patience gains the day". (Basically meaning be patient.)

Mr Man: When is the bus coming?! It's been ages, and I need it here now!
Mrs Woman: Softly, Softly, Catchee Monkey, My friend it'll come soon enough.

Becoming angry, delirious, or crazy due to dramatic overheating.
