In a recent interview, Charley Webb mentions how Leonard will laugh with no sound. There might be a little example in this video at 1:33? :lol: :lol: :lol:

He's such a wonderful person.

Oh tangle of matter and ghost
Oh darling of angels, demons and saints
And the whole broken-hearted host
Gentle this soul..."
