S1 E3Curious George

Do you really care how it's going with me?

Sure, I make my face look like this and the concerned words come out.

[voice over] One desperate attempt after another to find something in common with someone else and then cling. “Hey, you have ten fingers, I have ten fingers, let's be friends. We'll make rules and slogans. Then if we find someone with nine fingers, we can beat the crap out of them.”

You're just lucky we are not doing this with my mother, she used to make us practice smiling before we left the house.

RReggie

That's because she doesn't like your smile.

Did she tell you that?

RReggie

Yeah, she said it was fake.

That bitch.

What would happen if everybody died?

What do you mean?

Like if we were the only ones left

Oh, like if the frogs ate everyone on the planet?

Yeah.

I reckon we'd be shoveling a lot of frog shit.

So... my whole life, everything... All I get to keep are thoughts and memories?

That's all we ever have, Peanut.

S1 E4Reapercussions

SSecretary

I'm sorry Mr. Munroe isn't available.

Did you tell him it's important?

SSecretary

Yes, but he's just on his way out of the office.

It'll only take a second. Please, I'll be quick.

SSecretary

He's not gonna see you. He doesn't know who you are or what this is regarding.

I'm the girl his son drugged and it's regarding him videotaping me while homeless people had sex with my unconscious body.

SSecretary

I'll double check.

I was just calling you, to see if there was anything I could do to help.

[voiceover] I became aware of the words only after they left my mouth.

I like the way you show initiative, Millie. I like it a lot. I'd better watch my back, pretty soon you'll have my job.

Only after you get a promotion.

Oh.

[voiceover] I felt dirty.

I feel like I've been poisoned. Have you been poisoned?

No, not on purpose. I had some bad salmon once. I don't touch the stuff anymore.

Was it salmon mousse?

I don't know. It was canned.

[This is a reference to Monty Python's Meaning of Life where the Grim Reaper tells some snobs that they all died from eating bad salmon mousse made with canned salmon]

You pulled the wrong piece out of the Jenga tower little girl. You know what a hiccup is?

Yes.

You got yourself a hiccup. Something happens that's not supposed to happen. System has to figure out what that something is and fix it. P. J. Monroe.

I'm sorry.

What'd you do? Slash his tires? Have him arrested?

I just talked to him.

Must have been some conversation.

I guess.

I hope it was worth it. What, you got the hots for the guy or something?

No!

What, he give you some money?

No! [looks away]

Help...me...out.

I just wanted to see if I could do it?

I need somebody to give me lessons on how to communicate with you, Peanut, cuz I'm at a loss. The coin's in the slot, the gumball's on its way, and I'm plum out of wisdom. I'd start sleeping with the lights on if I were you.

George [voiceover]: I didn't know if that was a threat or a warning... Rube washed his hands of me. But that didn't mean I was off the hook. It only got worse. I broke the rules. The gravelings declared hunting season on my ass.

[Mason is sitting in a booth, looking uncomfortable]

Are you high?

[miserably] I've got illegals in my bottom.

Heed his advice, and stay on his good side. He's like a volcano, George, he erupts and he spews lava on all the little villagers, they run around and, they run around for their lives. But, you know, he stops, and you can go back to the safety of your own home.

I've seen him stay mad for years, but you're different, he likes you. He won't stay mad as long.

Well how long will he be mad for? Days? Weeks?

What's the one after that?

GGeroge

Months?

Yeah, that one.

S1 E5Reaping Havoc

You don't mess with fate, Peanut. People die when they are meant to die. There's no discussion. There's no negotiation. When life's done, it's done. You of all people should know that.

[George is at a meeting at work about scrapbooking and has a daydream.]

This is my work related scrapbook. [She opens to a page and points.] These are bone fragments I found in a telephone pole next to an exploded high voltage transformer. [Turns to another page.] And, this is from that nuclear reactor incident. I think it's a testicle!

[Everyone in her daydream laughs.]

[Rube, George and Betty are at a Bowers family reunion trying to find M. J. Bowers.]

Is your name M. J.?

OMOld Man Bowers

What?

My friend tells me 'go say hello to M. J. he's standin' over there' and she points to you.

OMOld Man Bowers

Which friend?

Right there. Pretty girl in the pant suit.

[They look at George and George waves.]

OMOld Man Bowers

That one? I don't know her. Uh, what is she pointing at me for?

She thought you were M. J. Bowers. Are you?

OMOld Man Bowers

Who wants to know?

It's a family reunion. We're all family. I'm just askin' your name.

OMOld Man Bowers

I don't know you, sir!

Rube. Hi, how are you? Listen, I'm tired of fuckin' around. Is your name M. J. Bowers or not?

Old Man Bowers [confused]: Uh...
