"In which Jessica outlines Plan B." [Jessica] Oh stop WHINING! Let's go find you a boyfriend in this crowd! / [Cinn] These are all Zöe's friends. They're too young! They do not even remember Madonna before Justin Timberlake! / [Jessica] Hm... true. Onto plan B, then. / [Cinn] I dare not dance. / [Jessica] Don't be silly. Plan B is...
"In which Cinn played too much Nintendo as a child." [Jessica] Here! Have another? / [Cinn] I don't think that's a good idea. I have to drive us home, remember? / [Cinn] My thin frame is going to need the rest of the night to recover from the FIRST drink. / [Jessica] You're not really that much of a light-weight, are you? / [Cinn] I am Little Mac to...
"In which Mike Tyson doesn't discriminate." [Jessica] Poor Mike Tyson. / [Cinn] Poor Mike Tyson? / [Jessica] Yeah. Bad facial tattoo. Rape conviction. Ear Cannibalism.

"In which rewinding causes dizzyness." [Jessica] -- WAIT... How did you get on that end of the couch? / [Jessica] You were sitting on this side just a second ago. / [Cinn] You stood to adjust your dress. / [Jessica] I don't remember doing that. / [Cinn] When you sat down, you almost sat on me, so I slid over here to avoid you. / [Jessica]...
"In which I think you're crazy just like me, possibly." [Cinn] OOH, I love this song. / [Music] I remember when, I remember when, I remember when I lost my mind... / [Jessica] This song is so OLD. / [Cinn] So? Just because a song is old doesn't mean it's all of the sudden a bad song. / [Jessica] Why listen to the same OLD MUSIC when there's always new music...
 
"In which older isn't always better." [Cinn] Sometimes, old things are better. / [Jessica] How do you figure, exactly? / [Cinn] "YMCA" will get the party started more than USHER. / [Jessica] No way! / [Cinn] Old things have QUALITY. They have withstood the test of time. / [Jessica] Nostalgia and quality are NOT the same thing.
"In which Cinn doesn't have enough decisions to make." [Jessica] You know what your problem is? You are TOO sentimental. / [Jessica] Why not live in the present and jump into the future instead of nit-picking through every detail of the past and constantly , like, BEMOANING the past? And stuff. / [Cinn] I'd like to think that analyzing the past helps me...
"In which squirrels are unbalanced." [Jessica] You look tired! / [Cinn] My goodness... look at the time...

"In which the purpose of facebook is explained." [Cinn] Well, sir, it was good seeing you tonight. / [Jessica] It was good seeing you too. Zöe's a neat gal, huh? / [Cinn] It was good of her to invite us. / [Jessica] facebook was actually designed to make inviting friends-of-siblings to parties easier. / [Cinn] It's also good for stalking ex-boyfriends....
"In which Leyla wakes up to August." [Leyla] (Alright, Leyla, it's August. Time to pack. Time to say good-bye to Montréal. If you can say good-bye to this city, you can say good-bye to anything.)
 
"In which Nillan wakes up to August." [Nillan] (August, huh? Brown grass will soon be brown leaves. And Leyla leaves. I wish humans could hibernate.)
"In which Nillan is not feeling Just Right." [Zoe] It's August! One more month until college officially begins! I wonder how many more brain cells I can kill before then, big brother. / [Nillan] College will kill enough of them off. I'd hang onto the ones you still have. You never know when you might need brain cells. / [Zoe] Why would I need...
"In which Cinn has a bad start to a good day." [Cinn] Well, lady, what are you going to do today? Going to conquer the world? / [Cinn's toothbrush falls into the toilet] *SLiP* / [Cinn] Going to buy a new toothbrush.
"In which Zöe threatens her older brother." [Zoe] Take me back-to-school shopping, big brother! / [Nillan] You need to get a driver's license. / [Zoe] I could always get a BOYFRIEND. / [Nillan] I'll drive you! I'll drive you!
"In which Zöe wants to marry a duderancher so she can call him 'Dude'." [Zoe] Can we go to Metrotown? / [Nillan] It's so far away... I need to pick up Leyla from the airport in two hours. Can't you just take the SkyTrain? / [Zoe] Fine, just take me to the closest dude ranch. / [Nillan] What sort of school supplies are you going to find at a dude ranch, huh? / [Zoe] Well,...
 
"In which Nillan announces his plan to sleep on the couch." [Zoe] Leyla's coming back TODAY? Yayness! / [Nillan] Don't be so excited, sis: she's only here for TWO weeks. Then she moves down to San Diego. / [Zoe] Is that why you were cleaning the house all week? / [Nillan] Yeah. Mom and dad said that she could stay here so that she doesn't need a hotel. I'll...
"In which Lil' Dracula is killed by a little miSTAKE." [Nillan] Bye, sister! Have fun at the mall! Don't forget to buy a pocket protector. / [Zoe] Pocket protector? Why would I need one of those? / [Nillan] That's what Lil' Dracula said. Then, one day, his pencil went THROUGH his pocket into his HEART. / [Lil' Dracula] Dear me... I'm a goner.
"In which Nillan meets Leyla at the airport." [Nillan] Leyla! I missed you so much! / [Leyla] Hi Nillan! / [Nillan] I missed you so much! / [Leyla] Aww... That's nice to hear. / [Nillan] (I'd like to hear it too...)
"In which Nillan claims baggage from the baggage claim." [Leyla] Thanks so much for coming to get me at the airport. It was very sweet of you. And thanks for that last letter!

"In which Nillan picks up Leyla's bags, with some difficulty." [Nillan] You threw up on the plane!? / [Leyla] I was really nervous about seing you. / [Nillan] Why? I'm not that big and scary, you know. You're acting like I'm some ape man from the fourth dimension! / [Nillan, lifting Leyla's baggage with difficulty] *erk* / [Leyla] An ape man would have been able...
 
"In which Leyla's breath smells like Green Eggs." [Nillan] You threw up... I see... I was beginning to think you didn't like me much / anymore, but I can see why you didn't leap up to kiss me. / [Leyla] Kisses are far less appealing with the lingering taste of bile in one's mouth. / [Nillan] Not for zombies! / [Leyla] Do Zombies even kiss? / [Nillan]...
"In which Zöe demonstrates her abilities as a linebacker." [Zoe hiding behind a wall as Leyla walks by] / [Zoe leaps through the air to tackle Leyla] *DIVE* / [Leyla] OOOF! / [Leyla] Did you just tackle me? / [Zoe] That was more an "animalistic leap," rather than a tackle. / [Leyla] I think I am bruised. / [Zoe] Life is more fun with lumps.
"In which a fist is used for evil." [Leyla] But WHY? Why did you tackle me? / [Zoe] I know why you're here, Leyla.

"In which Leyla swims with the fish." [Leyla] Each season has its own beauties, huh? I suppose life is sorta like that too. Each year certainly has something to love about it. / [Nillan] I'd like to think so, Leyla. / [Leyla] I'm so tired of change, Nillan. I feel like a river being pulled by forces far beyond me. / [Leyla] The ocean...
 
"In which self-converses regarding metaphors." [Nillan] When it comes to ocean science, the only oceans I understand are metaphoric oceans. / [Nillan] The ocean of SeLF, sending out language that exists as WaVES to communicate. Or something like that. / [Nillan] I'll admit my metaphor was a little bit shoddily constructed. / [Nillan] It's amazing...
"In which Nillan should have done less walking and more talking." [Leyla] Hey mister... are you talking to me, or are you talking to yourself? / [Nillan] *huh?* / [Leyla] You know, you should talk to me... while I'm still here. / [Nillan] Sorry. / [Nillan] And now she's gone again. / [Scott] When will you see her again? / [Nillan] I don't know that I will. Although...
"In which backing up results in a giant leap." [Scott] So how are things now? Is your relationship with Leyla officially "long-distance" now? / [Nillan] Is it officially a "relationship" now, is what you should be asking. / [Nillan] Before she left, we both agreed that we both love one another, but that life meant great physical distances at the...

[Nillan] Have you ever had one of those dreams where you're FALLING and there's no escape? / [Nillan] I had a feeling exactly like that when Leyla said that we should take a step back. / [Waitress] Hello! Would you boys like anything else today? / [Scott] Sure! I'll have a beer. / [Nillan] I'll have...
"In which the dictionary acts like his name suggests." [Scott] You shouldn't make such cryptic comments, Nillan... you scare waitresses. / [Nillan] Heh heh, she looked pretty confused when I asked for a parachute. / [Scott] Confusing others is not a sport. / [Nillan] It is in LIBRARIA. The dictionaries always win. / [DICK the Dictionary] Hey Thesaurus!...
