Words you can keep
When one of two 'cops' alternate their interviews. The 'Bad Cop' behaves negatively toward the subject, making blatant accusations, derogatory comments, threats, and in general raising the subject's antipathy. This sets the stage for the 'Good Cop' to deceptively act supportive, understanding, defensive, and in general show sympathy for the subject, which may make the subject cooperative towards the latter.
Pledge 1: "Dude, how about what Tiffany, the bad cop, said at the pledge meeting last night?"

Pledge 2: "Oh I know man. It made me feel so terrible. I'm just glad Danny was there to make us all feel better."

Has a white guy pull him off the suspect when he gets angry and starts beating people up. White: Has cool shades and a black leather jacket and, opposite of his black counterpart, has a black good cop pull him off of people. Asian: Usually looks like the average cop until someone does something bad. Then, HE OPENS A CAN OF KICKASS AND LAYS THE SMACK DOWN ON DEESE FOOLS WITH SOME MUAY THAI BOXING AND SHOOTS LASER BEAMS FROM HIS EYEBALLS AS HE BECOMES ONE WITH HIS INNER DRAGON!

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.
I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
