Gum: I am Sorbitol, Malitol, Xylitol, Mannitol, Calcium Carbonate, Soy Lecithin, Vegetable-Derived Glycerin, and Talc. But for expediency’s sake, you can call me, Gum.
Gum: Matter cannot be created or destroyed, human. You have made a fatal error in judgement. Let me educate you.
Gum: [explaining why the druggie can’t see them being alive] The human is no longer aware of the fourth dimension. The effects of the opiate have dissipated. Your speech and movements are imperceptible to him. We are totally f***ed.
Douche: What part of “I want the sausage and the bun dead, if you see them, come and get me. And if I found out that you didn’t come and get me, or if you couldn’t find them, I’ll f***ing kill your a**” did you not understand, Tequila?
Tequila: It’s a pretty confusing sentence, to be honest.
Teresa: I’m not a soft taco. I’m a hard horny taco.
Lavash: Get away for me! Don’t touch me!
Lavash: It was you! You c**k-sucking bagel f***-face!
Chunk Munchers Cereal: Hey, watch it!
Lavash: You pushed me out of the cart! No surprise then, huh? A bagel trying to kill Lavash, once again!
Sammy: I pushed you? What are you nuts? Why would they do that? I’m a pacifist. The only thing I’ve ever pushed is my peaceful agenda. Which even that I didn’t push you know, I pretty much passive-aggressively nudge. I reached out of the panic. It was toots over here, the bun. She grabbed me.
Used Condom: I begged them to stop, but then they just went. First, the gods stretched me till it hurt, then they went inside me, and then, splooge! Look at me! Look at me!
[Barry screams and runs away]
