It took off my blouse, and... / Mike: Sure, honey! Heheheh. We'll have to spank all those naughty tentacled things, right? / Marsha: Mike, think with your BIG head for a moment. Margaret's in trouble! I can't get that tentacled thing off her! / Mike: What, Margaret's involved in this, too??? This is the best off-the-cast gift EVER! / Marsha: MIKE! For the last time, this is NOT about SEX! / Mike: Sex? Who's thinking about sex? It's all about, you know. Love and friendship.
College Roomies from Hell!!! for Monday, May 12, 2003 [[Mike, wearing a backpack with attached nozzle, and Marsha re-enter the kitchen.]] / Mike: Stay behind me, Marsh.

Huh? / Marsha: [[a tear trickling down her cheek]] I always dreamt that maybe someday I would be as good as my dad, but it's just not meant to be.

Clean the damn kitchen and COOK! / Marsha's Angelic Conscience: You can't clean the kitchen without Mike! You promised. And you know how important these things are for him! / Marsha's Demonic Anti-Conscience: I'll go crazy! Don't you understand? CRAZY! / Marsha's Angelic Conscience: All right, sheesh!

I'm not a volunteer at the hospital like I told you. I just go there to get my stomach pumped. / Marsha: What? / Mike: I guess that... what I'm trying to say is that you s-s-suck. / Marsha: WHAT??? / Mike: Really really big time. You have to be the worst cook ever. I swear it on my mother's evil. / [[Mike stands alone in the kitchen, the bowl upturned on his head and brown gunk dripping from it]] / Mike: [[thinking]] Maybe there IS a reason I don't listen to my shoulder angel anymore.
