"Mm-mm." "C ya!"" "[Artie] I can't follow any of this!" "Everyone talks too fast." "I know." "It's like being at a party in the '80s." "Okay." "Rule number one." "I think it's great that we have a loving, consensual relationship in our bunker, but let's try to keep it PG." "[Lillian] Okay, so no tobacco use, and I can go topless as long as it's violent." "Got it." "[Kimmy] Rule number two." "Share everything." "Rule number three." "No bad guys!" "Heh, so it's a good thing you didn't eat Dionne Warwick," "right, Titus?" "Too soon." "Rule number four: no fighting." "Unless you're a hippo and you're fighting over a bunch of delicious marbles." "[laughs] Because the final rule is no mind games." "Only board games." "So let's have fun!" "Now, who likes Monopoly?" "Ew." "I'm not playing a game where the whole point is to pay rent." "[Titus] What?" "I'm just being my hilarious self now that my soul isn't burdened with its darkest secrets." "[chuckling]" "I'm so excited to say that here, in hour five of our telethon, we have raised over $200,000, five cars for kids, and a ten-foot party hoagie with extra gabbagool." "So take that, Hurricane Tammi-with-an-I!" "[rattling] -[groans]" "Dang it!" "All of these are missing pieces." "We're all missing something, Kimmy." "The little hat from Monopoly."

"Titus, you make Patti LaBelle sound like Barry White." "Oh. [mouths words]" "And I should know." "Because I've done EpiPens on both of them."

"Miss Warwick made the mistake of going down the tube slide at the pool today." "[Dionne Warwick moaning]" "I love a slide." "Oof." "Ugh."
