I think it’s something called ‘paternal concern.’ (Nykyrian)
What…? You sure? I thought that crap was a myth. (Syn)

Get the fuck out. No way. You’re screwing with my head again, aren’t you? (Syn)
No, I swear. You just saw it with your own eyes. I did not make that shit up. (Nykyrian)

You mean the Teletubbies? (Berith)
The fact that you know what they're called, Berith, truly scares me. (Jericho)

At least let me get laid before you kill me – which according to my mom I can’t do until I’m married and I can’t do that until I finish college. So you have to wait a good ten years before you snuff me. Deal? (Nick)”

Pissed off. You wrecked my car, shoved me around, and are a complete and utter dickhead! (Simone)
