"And the hour is almost upon us. Yay!"
"It all starts with something... magnificent. A flower. Just a flower. Then a honeybee. Very fragile. Very complicated. The bee gathers pollen and deposits it in another flowers stigma. Its like sex but cleaner. And nobody gets hurt."
"I mean, I follow a very strict reverse-aging diet and therapy program. Its very expensive, as you can imagine, but Im not an alien."
"I know who you are. I know what you are."
"[bashing Michelle in the kneecap] Thats for Don, you fucking virus."
"99.9% of whats called activism is really personal exhibitionism and brand maintenance in disguise."
"Because I know exactly what youre going to say. Youre going to say that Im in some kind of Internet-induced autohypnotic feedback loop, and-and gatekeepers, and-and norms, and all that weak hegemonic horseshit. But that is precisely the limp-dick rhetoric that youve been instructed to counter the human insurgency with. Thats the fucking hyper-normalized dialectic by which youve convinced seven and half billion people that theyre not your captives. To keep us believing in these fucking false institutional, fucking shy-boleths."
"You miserable fucking idiot, do you know what youve done?"
"I guess grammar is a false Andromedan construct as well."
"You cant beat me because you are a loser and Im a winner and thats fucking life!"
"Welcome to the headquarters of the human resistance. Despite our general suspicion and disavowal of all extant governing bodies, and despite the fact that you, as an Andromedan, are not subject to the human rights guidelines detailed in the Geneva Conventions, we nevertheless endeavour to adhere to those guidelines out of the humanist principles to which they aspire."
"[after slapping Michelle] Everybody denies it at first. And then they confess."
