Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm nervous about tonight's episode - Grilled Cheesus.

Yeah, me too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

WTF -- does Papa Can You Hear Me actually start with the Lord's Prayer?? That's fucked up.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

It begins with the "Oh heavenly father" part, but not the Lord's Prayer. I can't rewind, but I didn't notice the Lord's Prayer in there.

Not the whole thing, but it was definitely quoting.

The song starts with "Oh God-our heavenly Father. Oh, God-and my father Who is also in heaven. May the light of this Flickering candle Illuminate the night the way Your spirit illuminates my soul."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I thought it started, "life is a mystery..." I can't find a music video version that starts with "Oh heavenly father"- maybe on the album?

Oh God-our heavenly Father. Oh, God-and my father Who is also in heaven.

OK, maybe it was just that part that struck me. I was so thrown off! Do Jews say "Our heavenly Father"?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

ha! is the "heaven" part throwing you off?

I can't think of that exact phrasing in English too often, but "our Father" is in a lot of prayers, and "tate in himmel," which means "father in heaven," is used in Yiddish.

Notice that I am trying really hard not to focus on the enormous pile of crap the rest of this show (Sue MF Sylvester aside) is trying to shovel at me.
