| "In which Sam and Nillan discuss Leyla." | [Sam] So, you shut down your computer? Huh.
/ [Nillan] I can't talk to her just yet. / [Sam] She didn't do anything wrong, Nillan.
/ [Nillan] I know... but I guess a broken heart takes some time. / [Nillan] And now I get to see her on Facebook all the time. And relive it. Yay.
/ [Sam] You could always... / [Nillan]... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=802 |
| "In which Nillan assists Sam." | [Sam] Thanks for agreeing to go shopping for groceries with me... I know groceries aren't high on most people's excitement metres.
/ [Nillan] Well, you know me... grocery shopping is pretty much the most exciting thing I did all week. / [Nillan] Next week, parachutes over Alligator Lake! http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=803 |
| "In which the future is friendly... not so much." | [Sam] You'd be surprised how many diapers a baby will go through in a week.
/ [Nillan] Yeah. The miracle of fatherhood. / [Sam] For some reason, I always find it a tad bit embarrassing to be in the diaper aisle. All the pink and purple. / [Nillan] Do they keep OLD-PEOPLE diapers in the same aisle.
/ [Sam]... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=804 |
| "In which Sam had a horrible, no good, very bad day. Told on the radio." | [Sam] Thanks again for driving me today, Nillan.
/ [Nillan] No problem. / [Nillan] It sucks that your car broke down.
/ [Sam] Yeah, well that's what happens with a beater. / [Sam] Worse, it broke on the highway during rush-hour. / [Sam] There's nothing worse than hearing your bad day narrated from the... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=805 |
| "In which Sam wants to initiate autodestruct sequence." | [Nillan] Hey... you know how you mentioned earlier that you were not happy about having your accident narrated on AM traffic radio? Isn't it ironic that a musician such as yourself spends your days hoping to get on the radio and when you finally do it's for causing a traffic jam?
/ [Sam] Uh Huh. / [Sam]... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=806 |
| "In which Nillan has questionable neck adornment." | [Nillan] Well, take care. Have a good night Sam.

/ [Nillan] This? Yeah... it is.... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=807 |
| "In which Leyla disses American culture." | [Leyla] It's so HOT today.
/ [Katelyn] Is it? Isn't Montreal just as hot in the summer? / [Leyla] Yes, I suppose. But at least THERE the heat is punctured by a jazz festival, bicycles, and plenty of culture. / [Leyla] The only culture here is CAR culture, and it's going bankrupt. http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=808 |
| "In which Katelyn disses Canadian culture." | [Katelyn] Blame Detroit! California has the strongest emission standards in the country!
/ [Leyla] On the world stage, these standards are a JOKE. / [Katelyn] Don't diss America! Canadians hunt baby seals! Your Queen was up there last week feasting on seal heart! / [Leyla] Are you saying that just... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=809 |
| "In which Leyla has a tan that is not a tan, really." | [Leyla] A girl like me could grow fond of San Diego living!...
/ [Katelyn] Two weeks ago, all you could do was complain about it... / [Leyla] I know I know. But check out the TAN that I've got now. / [Katelyn] What YOU call a "tan" looks more like a film called "when freckles attack."
/ [Leyla] I know,... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=810 |
| "In which mud pit mud pit mud pit splatter." | [Katelyn] Were you ever self-conscious about those freckles?
/ [Leyla] I'm not the type to be self-conscious. / [Leyla] The first kid who called my freckles "mud-spots" ended up in a MUD SPOT. http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=811 |
| "In which Nillan has a flashback to a simpler time." | [Sam] The future looks bright Nillan!
/ [Nillan] It's 1999, Sam. The world could end in five months! I could die at fifteen and never have seen Halifax! / [Sam] I don't know that Halifax is what I would be concerned about. / [Nillan] I suppose there is more to live for than sea-breeze and rubber boots,... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=812 |
| "In which Nillan is tired of being boring." | [Sandy] What are YOU thinking about?
/ [Nillan] The past. / [Sandy] The past?
/ [Nillan] Can you believe that when I was fifteen, my goal was to move to Halifax, marry a good woman and travel the world? / [Nillan] Really? That's crazy (Also, why Halifax)?
/ [Sandy] No, what's crazy is that my current... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=813 |
| "In which Nillan thinks of ways to not be boring." | [Kass] Nillan did WHAT?
/ [Sandy] He QUIT. Yesterday. He just... WALKED OUT. He said that working here made him feel bored. It made him feel BORING. / *MEANWHILE...*
/ [Zoe] What are you doing, big brother?

| "In which Z?e carries some odd things in her bag." | [Zoe] It's mean when you DO THAT!
/ [Nillan] Do what?
/ [Zoe] Use big words to confus me... / [Nillan] What word did I use?
/ [Zoe] "Preclude"
/ [Nillan] That is not a big word. It has two syllables.
/ [Zoe] Well... I didn't understand it. / [Nillan] How did you get into university?
