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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Can I get put on the kibbitzing bench? Especially with the new elements, I'd like to see the behind the veil stuff, even if I can't play.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

BSG

I'll see what I can do.

Gee, good thing there's nobody there capable of SHOOTING ANYBODY IN THE FACE that she happens to be in the same room with.

Everyone better move off the damn Hangar Deck in case Kat is feeling a bit...antagonistic.

This actually happened to me in one game. I was playing Kat. She got XO'd to repair a couple of Mk VIIs; instead she shot me IN THE FACE and then revealed. The very first turn, shot in the face.
