A Mother's Struggle for Connection and Identity
Carol Aird

I just want them to be regular. There was a time when I would have done almost anything. I would have locked myself away to keep Rindy with me. What use am I to her, to us, if I'm living against my own grain?

Me, I keep healthy. I take seven showers a day to keep clean, also because I'm so vulgarly referred to as "outdoors-y." Well, I'm not "outdoors-y," I'm athletic. I sweat! There it is, now we both know the sordid truth: I sweat, and you're deaf. Aren't we a fine pair of misfits?

The Complexity of Traditional Music
Jude
Doesn't really matter, you know, what kind of nasty names people invent for the music. But, uh, folk music is just a word, you know, that I can't use anymore. What I'm talking about is traditional music, right, which is to say it's mathematical music, it's based on hexagons. But all these songs about, you know, roses growing out of people's brains and lovers who are really geese and swans are turning into angels – I mean, you know, they're not going to die. They're not folk music songs. They're political songs. They're already dead. You'd think that these traditional music people would – would gather that mystery, you know, is a traditional fact, you know, seeing as they're all so full of mystery.
Keenan Jones
And contradictions.
Jude
Yeah, contradictions.
Keenan Jones
And chaos.
Jude
Yes, it's chaos, clocks, and watermelons – you know, it's – it's everything. These people actually think I have some kind of, uh, fantastic imagination. It gets very, uh … lonesome. But traditional music is just, uh … it's too unreal to die. It doesn't need to be protected. You know, I mean, in that music is the only true valid death you can feel today, you know, off a record player. But like everything else in great demand, people try to own it. Has to do with, like, uh, the purity thing. I think its meaninglessness is holy. Everybody knows I'm not a folk singer.

The Challenges of Teaching Beyond the Classroom
Sheba Hart
When you started teaching, didn't you want to give them a real education to help overcome... the poverty of their backgrounds?

Too late for what?! For your future plans where you needed the appropriate wife?!

I did not. I can crush it again if you'd like. "Oh, thank you Claptrap, you're indispensible". Thank you, Lilith, your praise warms my soul.

Confronting Self-Esteem and Personal Choices
Jasmine
Oh, for Christ sake! What's wrong with your self-esteem?! There's a world of men out there who never think about ripping the phone out of the wall!
Ginger
Hey, leave him alone. You're always picking on him.
Jasmine
No, you choose losers, okay? Because that's what you think you deserve. And that's why your living like this and that's why you'll never have a better life.
Ginger
I'm.. I'm living... I'm living like this! Because you married the biggest loser of all! And went your own sweet way! While he pissed away my one big chance to make a better life!

Choosing Between Room Options at the Motel
McKinley Motel Manager
Our standard rooms come equipped with stereophonic console radios, or we do have the Presidential Suite available for a very attractive rate.

A Moment of Truth on Live Television
Dr. Randall Mindy
I don't feel so good.
Brie Evantee
Alright, so I think what we'll do, we'll go to commercial break...
Dr. Randall Mindy
No, please, please Brie. Don't cut away. Let me say something
Jack Bremmer
You came to the right place, because on this show, we like to say things...
Dr. Randall Mindy
Would you please, just stop being so pleasant? I'm sorry, but not everything needs to sound so goddamn clever or charming or likeable all the time. Sometimes we need to just be able to say things to one another. We need to hear things! Look, let's establish, once again, that there is a huge comet headed towards Earth. And the reason we know that there is a comet is because we saw it. We saw it with our own eyes using a telescope. I mean, for God's sake, we took a fucking picture of it! What other proof do we need? And if we can't all agree at the bare minimum that a giant comet the size of Mount Everest, hurtling its way towards planet Earth is not a fucking good thing, then what the hell happened to us? I mean, my God, how do-- How do we even talk to each other? What've we... What've we done to ourselves? How do we fix it? We should have deflected this comet when we had the fucking chance, but we didn't do it. I don't know why we didn't do it. And now they're actually firing scientists like me for speaking out, for opposing them. And I'm sure many of the people out there aren't even gonna listen to what I just said cause they have their own political ideology, but I... .I assure you, I am not on one side or the other. I'm just telling you the fucking truth.
[[bleep]
Brie Evantee
I-I think this would be a good time to establish that Isherwell and the president have both said that there's benefits to be...
Dr. Randall Mindy
Right, well, the president of the United States. Is fucking. Lying! Look I'm just like all of you. I hope to God, I hope to... God that this president knows what she's doing. I hope she's got us all taken care of, but the truth is... I think, this whole administration, has completely. Lost. Their fucking mind! And I think. We're all. Gonna die!

The Complexity of Artistic Evaluation
Lydia Tár
The problem with enrolling yourself as an ultrasonic epistemic dissident is that if Bach's talent can be reduced to his gender, birth country, religion, sexuality, and so on, then so can yours. Now, some day, Max, when you go out into the world, and you guest conduct for a major or minor orchestra, you may notice that the players have more than light bulbs and music on their stands. They will also have been handed rating sheets - the purpose of which is to rate you. Now, what kind of criteria would you hope that they use to do this? Your score reading and stick technique, or something else?

Hela's Reflection on Asgard's Forgotten History
Hela
Does no-one remember me? Has no-one been taught our history? Look at these lies. Goblets and garden parties? Peace treaties? Odin... proud to have it... ashamed of how he got it. We were unstoppable. I was his weapon in the conquest that built Asgard's empire. One by one, the realms became ours. But then, simply because my ambition outgrew his... he banished me. Caged me. Locked me away like an animal. Before that, Asgard's warriors were honored, their bodies buried as heroes beneath this very place.
