Episode Quotes
Adelle: Topher?
Topher: I've scrubbed them as much as I safely can. If we pursued the short-range calcium modulin K2 amplified, I could advance the protein's corrosion of long-term potentiation.
Adelle: Done, whatever that means.

Mike: They probably want to study our reproductive systems.
Mellie / November: Sex with aliens?!?
Victor: Come on. Who doesn't want to put alien guy back in the box?

Attendant #2: Good morning. We're having banana pancakes today.
Tango: I like pancakes.
Victor: We're all gonna die.

Sierra: Co-ed showers? I don't believe it.
Echo: But we have to do it.
Mellie / November: So, no big deal.
Victor: Okay, New York starting lineup, 1986, first base: Keith Hernandez; second base: Wally Beckman; shortstop: Rafael Santana.
Sierra: Keep your eyes right where they are.
Victor: Mookie Wilson: left field. Third base: Ray Knight; catcher: Gary Carter; center field: Lenny Dykstra....

Echo: That is not a costume warehouse we just busted out of. That's a people warehouse.
