Don't worry, we're sure to spot Faith first. She's like this cleavagy slut-bomb walking around 'Ooh, check me out, I'm wicked-cool, I'm five-by-five.'

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
then juice drips over her hands, and then her phone rings
Man, if I had a dime for every time that's happened! ... I wouldn't have enough to buy another dime.

What, nobody sucks the juice off their fingers anymore? And she needs two hands to eat a peach?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And by "that thing," I mean this thing.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

This made me chuckle...and reminded me of a recent Nova episode where a sociologist did an experiment where he auctioned off a $20 bill. It sold for...$26. Yep, some sap paid more than the legal tender was worth!

That sounds like that stat I read in freakonomics where a ridiculously high amount of stuff on ebay eventually sells above the original "buy it now" price.

I didn't pay enough attention, but the Nova ep suggested that there is a neurological connection with money and competition that makes such things happen. They further suggested that money effects the brain in the same ways that sex and food do. Interesting evolutionarily speaking.

I think there was something about similar effects in Predictably Irrational - iirc, the explanation had to do with wanting to make sure your competitors didn't get it more than wanting to get a fair price for yourself.
