Bad Doctor fan, Kaylee... You should know it means "Allons-y" :-D Allons-y? Vamonos? To infinity and beyond? How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Am I going to Carolina in my mind? Is Oklahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plain? Does the rain in Spain stay mainly in the plain? Drosophila melanogaster? Australopithecus? Afarensis? Lucy in the sky with diamonds? All the lonely people, where do they all come from? Is it for the benefit of Mr. Kite? Where is Maxwell's silver hammer? Who are you? Where are you? What are you? When are you? Why are you? | ||

Do you pick the canto by the first letter in the question? And the line in the canto by the number in the question? Hmmm... let me think.... ******* SPOILER ******* Well done! First letter in the question (from the 26 of the alphabet) gives the number of the canto from Dante's Inferno. The number in the question gives the line (modulo the number of lines). | ||
