"Once I am safely on the other side, you two gentlemen can scurry over by way of this crude but sturdy rope, meticulously engineered from two undershirts, a pair of khakis, an old trash bag, and Wilson's yellow karate belt."

"Yeah, I have." "You take it way too far." "The point is to capture the flag." "Okay, you kidnapped their queen and gave them new and interesting reasons to hate me." "Not to mention we lost the one guy who can end this nightmare." "Because his phone was in his pants, and his pants were in your ill-conceived rope." "A hero wouldn't have made that mistake." "Oh, you're not a hero." "You're not even a good sidekick." "Somebody needs couples therapy." "You know, you're welcome to leave whenever." "Oh, I'm staying."

"And not that I deserve any credit for saving the mission from certain failure yet again, but the bus stop is coming up fast." "Glenn, I hope you have your speech prepared."

"I think it's great that Glenn is making new friends, but, I've been over this before, the spark is gone and so am I." "Mrs. Glenn, I know you've got reason to doubt him, but..." "Today, your husband has pulled a calf muscle, done time, picked up out-of-the-way dry cleaning, put together a four, may be a five serviceable romantic speeches, babysat a self-entitled karate champ."

"You may think that you want a more glamorous life, you know, one with voice mails and a new car, but don't be so quick to throw away what you already have."
