Quotations

 * Travis: "Fjordie's ocean liner is gonna be, like, express."
 * Brian: "I have some different erotic literature I could give you."
 * Travis: "I told her last December in Campaign 1 that I was not about romance in D&D in the characters I am playing. I don't like it, it's too complicated, I'm not looking for it. And she was like 'you're saying you won't ever have a romance in our D&D game?' I was like never, you can count on it, I'm just here to kill people and get rich. And she was like, I'm gonna romance you. And I was like 'no you're not.' And she was like 'I am, I am, and you're gonna have to fall for me or you're gonna have to turn down your wife.' And I was like 'yeah yeah yeah, we'll see.' And she's FUCKING DOING IT!" Brian: "Yeah, and you're not gonna be turning it down because..." Travis: "I was like, I will totally shut you out in the cold, I will blockade your ass quicker than you can spell parfait. And what does she do? She brings jellyfish and tears into that shit! That's not fair! Actual wife tears!"
 * Travis: "Maybe I need to go open up Dumbledore's grave to get that Elder Wand, you know what I'm sayin'! Slytherin for life, keep it real."
