Episode Quotes |
| |
The Middleman: Caffeine is a drug, Dubbie.
Wendy: I’m holding a molecular stun cannon.
| Wendy: I wanted to be supportive. When I opened my mouth, my mom came out. No, seriously, I might have even said to buy a nice bag, high heels, and a push-up bra, and get herself a man. (Middleman and Ida stare) She’s from Miami.
The Middleman: Ah.
| Wendy: Oh, come on, I bet Ida’s just a double-click away from making her permanent record go bye-bye.
Ida: I’m a double-click away from making something go bye-bye.
| The Middleman: You let yourself become distracted and the next thing you know a geologic rift opens and the city is overrun by three-toed hominids who once battled man for dominance while you’ve got your tighty-whiteys around your ankles.
Wendy: That happened to you, didn’t it?
| The Middleman: I’m as serious as a Hefty bag full of Rottweillers.
| The Middleman: We’ll need to consult someone.
Wendy: Who?
The Middleman: A consultant, of course. You are off today.
| The Middleman: Grapes of Wrath, Dubbie. Do you know how much of the earth is made up of… earth?
| Wendy: C’mon, Lacey. Pick up, pick up, pick up.
Ida: Hey, turn that thing off.
Wendy: There’s no way my cell phone interferes with that thing’s frequency.
Ida: I’m talking about your mouth.
| The Middleman: I thought you solved your female problems.
Wendy: I don’t think female problems mean what you think it means but no.
| Lacey: Don’t you care about your carbon footprint?
Roxy: Is it anything like the footprint I’m going to leave on your young arrogant derrière if you don’t do exactly what I say?
| Duncan: Is he some kind of superhero?
Wendy: Something like that.
Duncan: What are you?
Wendy: Ever heard of Robin the Boy Wonder?
Duncan: Yeah, he sucks.
| Wendy: So all those temp jobs really were Hell on Earth.
The Middleman: What do you mean?
Wendy: It was a joke. You know, because this is supposed to look like the Underworld but instead looks like a boring old office building.
The Middleman: Sands of Zanzibar, you see an office building?
Wendy: Yeah, you don’t?
The Middleman: I see a field, wild, overgrown, barbaric. Look, over there, a feral rabbit.
Wendy: Seriously?
The Middleman: No, I see an office building.
Wendy: Wow, somebody’s funny in the Underworld.
| Wendy: So there’s a record of everyone who’s ever died.
The Middleman: A big and infinitely massive veil of shadows and mystery. This place is surprisingly well organized.
| Terracotta Warrior: Earth, you formed me. Wind, you carried me. Fire, you are my destiny. Water, you scare the pants off of me.
