Jo's a textbook counterpoint, though.
No, I'm being harsh. Can she cook?
Wait. People? She eats people? 'To Serve Man.' It's 'To Serve Man' all over again.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
When I worked in nerdland, nobody called anyone else "Dr.". Everyone usually went by their first name.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm a terrible cook. To me, anyone who can cook at all is brilliant.
Hey, we didn't see anything of Kevin this episode. Poor kid.
