In Bitches:
Aimee: Women who can't have an orgasm by doctor's orders should not have to fold laundry.
Jars: Nuns must wear some wrinkly habits.
Atherton: Half the men in this room wish you were on their arm, tonight. Inara: Only half. I must be losing my indefinable allure.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
In Natter:
Allyson: I need some sort of project to keep my mind busy until I get notes from my editor. My mind is racing and overheating. So annoying.
ita: Oh! Shit! I have a lesson plan or two to put together for krav tonight. Eek.
tommyrot:
I need some sort of project to keep my mind busy until I get notes from my editor.
You could create ita's krav lesson plans....
ita: Totally! Here are the specs: It's for blue, brown and black belts, and should involve ground, or vision drills, or both.
Allyson: Do you have one of those helmet Obi Wan put on Luke Skywalker to teach him how to lightsaber-fence while blind? Because that would be a great lesson.
For the ground fighting, I suggest a large ring made of chicken wire and you can periodically get on a mike and yell, "MasterBlaster rules Barter Town" and "2 Kravvers Enter, One Kravver Leaves."
Allyson: Wait. Do you have a chainmail dress?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Cass: Kittenish is flopped on the couch and trying to figure out why I am taking her laundry away.

But if I'm needlessly complicating things, ignore me. I dunno about Victor. He might be dangerous to ignore. He can probably kill you with an elegant turn of phrase.

Punishingly Intricate
Nilly re. Pluto's demotion:
It makes him the Jewish-mommy of not-planets: "so, what, you invite me to play, and then decide that you change your mind and you don't want me in your group anymore? Fine. I'll spin here alone. In the dark. And the cold. Really cold. Away from all of you who didn't even want me in the same list like you. See if I care. I'd cry if I had any solids on me that could turn into liquids".

Cashmere, in response to an obnoxious internets person:
...she doesn't deserve to bask in the glow of my white, hot hatred. Nor even the faint warmth of my indifference.

In the midst of Natter's smoked salmon riff:
Kalshane:
Without the cold-smoking, it's gravlax.
I thought that was a Klingon dish.
Jessica: Only for the Swedish Klingons.
Aimee: Borkl'avsh! Borkl'avash! Borkl'avash!
Kalshane: Great, now I have this mental image of a Klingon Swedish Chef muppet. "Bork, Bork, Bork, P'tak!"
ETA: Hee, Klingon Swedish Chef x-post!
