Episode Quotes |
| |
Lacey: It’s just, I mean, God knows I’ve spilled a lot of fake blood on your stuff, but what the hell is this. It almost looks alive.
Wendy: Don’t worry, it’s dead. Any movement is just reflex action.
Lacey: You mean it was alive?
Wendy: A bug. I stepped on a bug.
Lacey: With both my boots?!?
| The Middleman: Let this be a lesson to you. The next time we trap a rampaging pig-insect hybrid from another galaxy that accidentally gets loose in custody, you should shoot after it gets out of the car.
Wendy: Right. Next time I’ll find a more convenient place to be attacked.
| The Middleman: We’re agents Boetticher and Kennedy from American Shrimp and Crab Amalgamed Processors. Law enfocement branch.
Cecil Rogers: ASCAP?
The Middleman: We avoid using the acronym for copyright reasons.
Wendy: But, uh, whenever unexpected shrimp or crab appear in the context of a homicide, we’re not far behind.
| Ida: Time to quit your grinning and drop your linen, people.
| Johnny John: Look, I've got a beautiful woman in here, who is hot, willing, and able, who finds me devastating in my raw, feral power. Did I mention she was hot? Do you have any idea how rare that is for me?
Wendy: Yes I do.
| Roxy Wasserman: (to the Middleman) You are as ignorant as your jacket is tacky.
| (the Middlewatch beeps)
Lacey: Do you ever take that thing off?
The Middleman: No.
Lacey: Never?
The Middleman: It’s waterproof, shockproof, and grafted to my skin.
| Wendy: One coffee and milk, hold the coffee for you, and one coffee and milk for me, hold the milk for me.
| The Middleman: This is good. No one’s drowned yet.
Wendy: And no one’s playing the tuba, which is just as good.
| Lacey: So is it just strictly business tonight between you and sexy boss-man.
Wendy: I refuse to answer until you stop calling him that.
Lacey: So, is it strictly business between you and pillow-lips?
| Lacey: Dub-Dub, first rule of achieving a happy makeover: never argue with the person holding the curling iron.
| The Middleman: Not tonight, I’m on armed goon tuba duty, you’re on lose the roomie detail.
| The Middleman: Sensei Ping. Twisted Stones. On three.
Wendy: One, two three.
(the Middleman takes down the bad guys)
Wendy: I forget. What’s my part in Twisted Stones?
The Middleman: The counting.
| The Middleman: There’s still time, Rogers. If you help us, I’ll make sure your tuba is safe for all eternity. You have my word.
Cecil Rogers: Sorry, I don’t trust good-looking, heroic people.
Wendy: You have eternal life and this is what you choose to do with it?
Cecil Rogers: Did I mention how good the dating’s been?
| Wendy: She’s my roommate and my best friend and you’re my boss. How does that make anything easier? Why don’t you just date my mom while you’re at it?
The Middleman: Is she nice?
Wendy: Ahhh!
The Middleman: Just kidding. It was a joke to relieve the tension.
