They&#8217;re poorly designed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Something has gone critically wrong with your leader.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;He&#8217;s more of a figurehead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s secretly large.

You grew up on a strange farm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, this is what we in the Royal Navy call role-play.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That was me saying that, not Stanley.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Yeah, but Stanley was thinking it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Stanley was hired to do a job, but he&#8217;s starting to wonder if this is even related to the job he was hired for.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s a pseudo-pudding monster?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I need to make a charming roll on him&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The great thing is, when his faculties are gone, we can just leave him in a ditch, because he wanted his own free will to do NOTHING.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, see, I&#8217;m thinking my answer will convince you that he&#8217;s right, so&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are we really talking about how fragile our bodies are?  Is this actually helping anything?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I won&#8217;t turn on the thing unless Guy comes out and starts shooting people.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;That&#8217;s reasonable.  And plausible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I brought him back in exactly the same state you brought him to me in!&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Or he could have done better, but Guy shot him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s fine.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Okay.  You&#8217;re speaking in cicada.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There was a traffic cone, and it was really huge.  And it was mad at me, because I shot it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well&#8230; good job not falling for it.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Well, that apology went sideways.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And by &#8216;congratulations,&#8217; I mean, &#8216;good job not falling into my hands.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would encourage you not to go willy-nilly testing whether people like to be shot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do they have binary gender?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;That&#8217;s not a line of questioning I want to pursue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m kind of curious now.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Only because they&#8217;ve been in your head and you&#8217;re wondering whether you should be aroused or not.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Strictly speaking, I haven&#8217;t shot anybody in 200 years&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, that was the surprise round, and everybody was really surprised when the gun didn&#8217;t go off.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will be right back.  My character is still in the car, I have realized&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Your concern for phonetics and letters has unnerved Stanley.  Can you go back to shooting anything that moves?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You have skewered a 56 year old white man.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Shoot at him, and then say, &#8216;Tarnation,&#8217; no matter the results.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, it&#8217;s just not going to work.  Guy is sticking his head in the hole.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel like there&#8217;s no universe where this is how humans would behave.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;ve obviously never been in a dark cave with a burning body with Jason before.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;&#8230;No, I have.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Apparently I&#8217;m borrowing Alice&#8217;s dynamite and waiting for everyone to get their head out of the hole.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re negotiating with an alien again.  I&#8217;m really not okay with this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d like you to hold this dynamite for a minute.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Is it lit?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Not yet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hildebrand&#8217;s least favorite session ever.  Had to negotiate with aliens&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m like the United States now.  I don&#8217;t negotiate with aliens.  The answer is always no.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Two hundred years, one point of sanity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Of our complete sample size, half of them were damaged.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why is there a rumbling noise?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Because you said that the machines in there could be dangerous.  So I turned it on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I stole someone&#8217;s psyche to get here from the end of the universe, and I think you have strange ideas of right and wrong.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tarnation! They&#8217;re too primitive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s hard to keep sanity in this tiny human body.
