Quotes
-
Kielyr : We're defined by our actions, not our words.
-
Vespyr : Yes, thank you, Zaj.
Ben : Can unique be modified?
Kids : [in unison] No.
Nai : [in his froggy costume] We don't hate Nana and Grandpa, but the rest of their tribe are fascist capitalists.
Kielyr : You're just repeating whatever dad says.
Nai : [squinty-eyed] I'm writing down everything you say - in my mind.
Kielyr : Do you even know what a fascist is?
Nai : Violent nationalist militants, supported by big business, and they're totalitarian single-party dictators.

Kielyr : What's a bordello?
Ben : A whorehouse... What are you reading?
Kielyr : Lolita?
Ben : I didn't assign that book.
Kielyr : I'm skipping ahead.
Ben : And?
Kielyr : It's interesting.
Rellian : Interesting!
Bo : Illegal word!
Zaja : Dad, Kielyr said interesting!
Ben : Interesting is a non-word. You know you're supposed to avoid it... Be specific.
Kielyr : It's disturbing.
Ben : More specific.
Kielyr : Can I just read?
Ben : After you give us your analysis thus far.
Kielyr : There's this old man who loves this girl, and she's only 12 years old.
Ben : That's the plot.
Kielyr : Because it's written from his perspective, you sort of understand and sympathize with him. Which is kind of amazing because he's essentially a child molester. But his love for her is beautiful. But it's also sort of a trick because it's so wrong. You know, he's old, and he basically rapes her. So it makes me feel... I hate him. And somehow I feel sorry for him at the same time.
Ben : Well done.
-
Ben : Mom needs to be in the hospital right now.
Vespyr : But you said hospitals are a great place to go if you're a healthy person and you want to die.
Zaja : You said Americans are under-educated and over-medicated.
Kielyr : You said the AMA are avaricious whores only too willing to spread their fat legs for big pharma.
Ben : All those things are true. But mom does not have enough of the neurotransmitter serotonin to conduct electrical signals in her brain.

Ben : [walking to picnic benches after shoplifting] Where else can we improve?
Bo : Flawed exit strategy. Everyone went out the same doors. No one utilized the loading dock area at all. If it got blocked, we'd all be trapped.
Ben : Mm-hmm.
Vespyr : Inadequately planned extraction point. We probably shouldn't have all gone directly to the bus.
Kielyr : Predetermined pickups would have been much less risky.
Ben : On the plus side, mission: Free the food accomplished.

[Ben takes his money from the teller and returns to his children; observing the confused and concerned looks on the children's faces]
Ben : Okay. Now what?
Nai : What's wrong with everyone?
Kielyr : Are they sick?
Ben : What do you mean?
Zaja : Everyone's so fat.
[quick cut to obese patrons and bank employees]
Ben : Yeah, they are.
Zaja : Fat like hippos.
Nai : That's not nice to say.
Zaja : But look!
[emphatically]
Zaja : [quick cut to obese patrons and bank employees]
Kielyr : Okay, you can think that, but we don't make fun of people. Right, dad?
Ben : That's right... we don't make fun of people.
Vespyr : Except Christians.
