Vespyr : Yes, thank you, Zaj.
Ben : Can unique be modified?
Kids : [in unison] No.
Nai : [in his froggy costume] We don't hate Nana and Grandpa, but the rest of their tribe are fascist capitalists.
Kielyr : You're just repeating whatever dad says.
Nai : [squinty-eyed] I'm writing down everything you say - in my mind.
Kielyr : Do you even know what a fascist is?
Nai : Violent nationalist militants, supported by big business, and they're totalitarian single-party dictators.

Ben : Mom needs to be in the hospital right now.
Vespyr : But you said hospitals are a great place to go if you're a healthy person and you want to die.
Zaja : You said Americans are under-educated and over-medicated.
Kielyr : You said the AMA are avaricious whores only too willing to spread their fat legs for big pharma.

Ben : [walking to picnic benches after shoplifting] Where else can we improve?
Bo : Flawed exit strategy. Everyone went out the same doors. No one utilized the loading dock area at all. If it got blocked, we'd all be trapped.
Ben : Mm-hmm.
Vespyr : Inadequately planned extraction point. We probably shouldn't have all gone directly to the bus.
Kielyr : Predetermined pickups would have been much less risky.
Ben : On the plus side, mission: Free the food accomplished.

Ben : [as kids study around the campfire] Vesp? How you getting along?
Vespyr : I just finished chapter 12, "The World on a String."
Ben : [wrestless look of uncertainty]
Vespyr : What?
Ben : Are you having any trouble with Quantum Entanglement? Planck length versus Planck time?
Vespyr : I'm fine.
Ben : Good. Then tomorrow after lunch, you can give a brief presentation on M-theory. Argue counterpoints with Bo and Rell vis-a-vis Witten and Dirac.
