Jamison: “And then to make matters worse, these naked nasties come out on the cliff and jump in the water. They’re all white and pasty gross. Granted, I’m pretty white and pasty underneath this shirt, but you don’t see me diving off of cliffs in front of lots of people.”

Natalia: “On the door here, we have ‘Return With Honor.’ Because Daniel and Katey are going to have a baby and name her Honor. But because they both won’t have had any kids before, they don’t remember that they have to bring her back. So they have this little sign so that they don’t forget.”

—–

Katey: “The only reason I learned how to play Smash was because I had a crush on somebody (pointing at Daniel).”

Natalia: “The truth comes out! The only reason girls play video games is to impress the boys they like?! What?!”

Luis: “Were you!?!?!”

Katey: “… No.”

Billy: “…your majesty?…”
Mike: “It’s your honor!”

Billy: “Mike’s always been blabbing about this building. He’s like ‘there’s haunted dogs there that want to attack us!’”

—————-

Mike: “My professor was leaving the lab and was like, ‘If you want that dry ice you can take it home, but don’t make bombs out of them.’  And I was like, ‘Ok.’ So, I took it home… planning on making bombs out of it.”

Luis: “Do you know the scientific explanation for this?”
Norm: “I think it makes like a tiny flame… that is not visible… with, uh… the mixture of… the water… and the gas.”

—————-

Cody: “When it’s late at night, and the Club 45ers are outside, something’s up!”

After witnessing a dry ice bomb explode in Mike’s hands.
Luis: “MIIIIIIKE!”

—————-

Cody: “Yah, I  thought Mike was dead… and so did Luis.”
Larkin: “Did Luis scream like a girl??”

—————-

Mike: “So we got a quality plastic bottle, calculated a formula of the perfect mixture of water and ice… lotsa ice. Basically, excessive.”

About the massive dry ice bomb explosion
Spencer: “That could be considered an act of terror— an Act of Terror!!”
Cody: “Osama bin Mike!!”
