Words you can keep

I really do want to die 

I really do. During my sleep and forget all of this. It’s not wealth that I envy; it is permanent tranquility and peace is what I want. Wealth is only a second best option.
I really do want to die, says I. After 24 years of getting nowhere, I’m becoming tired of chasing a mirage so-called a light at the end of this endless tunnel.

But you do want children to die rather than pay

Hym "But you DO want children to die rather than pay? Weird set of priorities but OK."

Do not want! 

Used to indicate that one does not want to see, hear, know, or have anything to do with something. Used for comic effect.

Originates from an alleged, bad English-to-Chinese-to-English translation of Star Wars Episode III. In the end, Darth Vader's infamous "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" is subtitled "DO NOT WANT!"
"Check it out guys, naked photos of Donald Rumsfeld!"

DO NOT WANT 

Catchphrase popularized on 4Chan, which spread to other various forums online, signifies that the content of a thread isn't desired or liked that much

Acquired from a bootleg camcorder Hong Kong subtitling of the Chinese dub of Star Wars Episode III, in which Darth Vader's howl of 'NOOOOOO!' scream is translated to Chinese and then back to English as 'Do not want'

how do you want to do this? 

Mathew Mercer's famous line when a PC gets the final hit on a powerful foe. Allowing the player to decide how cool the final attack looks.
"Ok, How do you want to do this?" Asked Mercer the Merciless . Player in a shakey voice that grows more confident as they speak."I stand between my unconscious ally and swing with all my strength as it comes towards me aiming for the head." Mercer "With that, the cursed blade you wield slices through the skull of the beast in a downward slash. Straight through the neck and spine. Upon doing so the beast lands with a side of its skull on either side of your feet. As you look down you can see the even in death the blood boils as the brains start to bubble and burn."

Do you want to know how I got these scars? 

What the Joker says to people before telling them a story about how he got the scars on the sides of his mouth in The Dark Knight.

The first story involves his drunk father killing his mother, then cutting the sides of his son's mouth with a knife to make it appear as if he is always smiling. This is where the line "Why So Serious?" is said in the movie.

The second story is different, in which he talks about his wife. He states that he puts a razor in his mouth and moves it around, therefore cutting himself, giving himself more scars.
Story 1: Do you want to know how I got these scars? My father was a drinker, and a fiend. And one night he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself. He doesn't like that. Not. One. Bit. So, me watching, he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. He turns to me, and he says, "Why so serious?" He comes at me with the knife, "Why so serious?" He sticks the blade in my mouth, "Let's put a smile on that face!" And...Why so serious?

Story 2: Well, you look nervous. Is it the scars? Do you wanna know how I got them? C'mere...Hey, look at me...So I had a wife. Beautiful, like you, who tells me I worry too much; who tells me I oughta smile more, who gambles and gets in deep with the sharks. Hey...One day they carve her face. We have no money for surgeries; she can't take it. I just want to see her smile again. Hm? I just want her to know that I don't care about the scars! So, I stick a razor in my mouth and do this to myself. And you know what? She can't stand the sight of me! She leaves. Now I see the funny side. Now i'm always smiling!

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
