 * Travis: "Put me in coach, I'm ready to play."
 * Travis: "In the middle of it, when he was like 'you hear a motherly voice' I was like '*gasp* Fjord's mom?' Nope. Not what was happening."
 * Travis: "If anybody can interrupt that signal or the act of arcane powers being taken away...YEAH that's a big deal!...I'll help him turn dead people into fungus, I'll grow some smurfs, I don't care. I will start wearing pastels, if it works for Caduceus I'll get fluorescent in this bitch."
 * Marisha: "She assumes everyone hates her because she hates herself first."
 * Brian: "Travis, continue to sit there looking like my nana watching Jeopardy while you answer this question." Travis: "It's chilly in here, Jeb! Could we turn down the thermostat a wee bit? What is My Little Pony one-shot for four hundred dollars?"
 * Travis: "I am not praying to a shape."
 * Brian: "Caleb fucking hates himself."

 * Brian: "We can't dump the last 30 seconds of the show if one of your little Ronin makers pops out."
 * Marisha: "In my head, I wonder if I'm being a Tyrion Lannister about this." Travis: "At which point in the show? Second to last episode Tyrion Lannister or middle of the show Tyrion Lannister?"
 * Travis: "He turns people into tea!" Marisha: "I know!" Travis: "And he's got us thinking that's normal!"
 * Travis: "I am the only true, good, lawful character."
