Quotes 

• Kielyr : We're defined by our actions, not our words.

• Kielyr : Okay, you can think that, but we don't make fun of people. Right, Dad?

  Ben : That's right. We don't make fun of people.

  Vespyr : Except Christians.

• 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.

• Kielyr : What's a bordello?

  Ben : A whorehouse... What are you reading?

  Kielyr : Lolita?

  Ben : I didn't assign that book.

  Kielyr : I'm skipping ahead.

  Ben : And?

  Kielyr : It's interesting.

  Rellian : Interesting!

  Bo : Illegal word!

  Zaja : Dad, Kielyr said interesting!

  Ben : Interesting is a non-word. You know you're supposed to avoid it... Be specific.

  Kielyr : It's disturbing.

  Ben : More specific.

  Kielyr : Can I just read?

  Ben : After you give us your analysis thus far.

  Kielyr : There's this old man who loves this girl, and she's only 12 years old.

  Ben : That's the plot.

  Kielyr : Because it's written from his perspective, you sort of understand and sympathize with him. Which is kind of amazing because he's essentially a child molester. But his love for her is beautiful. But it's also sort of a trick because it's so wrong. You know, he's old, and he basically rapes her. So it makes me feel... I hate him. And somehow I feel sorry for him at the same time.

  Ben : Well done.

• 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 : All those things are true. But mom does not have enough of the neurotransmitter serotonin to conduct electrical signals in her brain.

• 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.
