Taster's Choice

Damdam - Do you want to stay and watch the Amalgam of the Parenthea?

Rahan - What are they? Rock band? Freak show? Magic Act? It's impossible to tell from the poster.

Damdam - I dunno-

Rahan - And what does Amalgam of the Parenthea even mean? What happened to names like Stab the Bishop or Murdering Nancy? With names like that, you always knew exactly what you were getting.

Damdam - Well... whatever they are, they look epic.

Rahan - Ugh. Epic is so in right now. It makes all my comforting banalities seem that much more... banal.

Silence.

Damdam - I'll get the bill-

Rahan - No, no... we're staying. I'm in the mood to really resent something.

What Time Is It?

Scrawled under the clock hanging over the hallway leading to the bathrooms:
Time to goose the Good Times Kamikaze! Get ready to lay the party egg!

Meet 'n' Greet

Minoru on seeing his most recent ex – It was like crossing the desert; initially, there was something exciting about it… How hot will it get? Will I be able to cope? But it didn't take long before I was dripping in sweat, it felt like I was breathing fire, and the oasis of interesting conversation was nothing more than a mirage.

Testing...

Halcyon - You’re having another Confusion Pizza?

Rahan - I love it.

Halcyon - You know there’s no real confusion in the pizza, right?

Rahan - You’re saying the confusion is artificial?

Halcyon - I’m saying the confusion is not real.

Rahan - Like not organic?

Silence.

Halcyon - Yes, that's right. Not organic. The confusion is farmed at a place where they use lots of harsh pesticides.

Rahan - But the rest of the pizza is organic, so... that's not too terrible, is it? They say you are what you eat.

Halcyon - Speaking of which... did you happen to enjoy an Annoying Sundae earlier today?

New Girl 3

Minoru - Get the feeling people here are talking about you?

New Serving Girl - Yeah.

Minoru - That's because they are. I like your t-shirt.

New Serving Girl - Thanks.

Minoru - What's your name?

New Serving Girl - Halcyon.

Minoru - Welcome aboard, Halcyon. The Candystick Gogo Funtimes Bar is where all your dreams are going to come true.

Silence.

Halcyon - My t-shirt reads "Underrated," not "Unintelligent."

Minoru - I'm going to like you a lot, I can already tell.

New Girl 2

Damdam - So... what do you think of the new serving girl?

Rahan - I'm tired of thinking.

Damdam - Well... that certainly explains your shoes.

Rahan - There's nothing wrong with my shoes.

Damdam - My point exactly. I fear thinking is becoming terminally underrated.

Rahan - Like the new serving girl?

Damdam - You think she's underrated?

Rahan - I know she's underrated. It says so on her shirt.

New Girl

Kansas - You know what I hate about the new serving girl?

Shamrock - That she's a better bartender than you?

Silence.

Shamrock - I suppose I should have just let you answer your own question.

Kansas - That would have been smarter, yes. Which ironically is what I hate about the new serving girl.

Silence.

Shamrock - If I wasn't so Buddhist this would be very awkward.
