Stacie: "Haha, that idiot is in there right now plugging some stupid gingerbread pyramid... Oh hey, Eli! Cutie-cute, that's what you are."
Eli: "These Corn motherfuckers are scary as hell. It's like an entire lobby made up of Grace Florricks. Meanwhile, what is going on? Why are you courting them?"
Stacie: "Oh, that's me fucking you again. That's like three times. Listen, Corn and Fruit were always secret allies, thanks to me. We are all Produce. You're just what gets skimmed off the top of Dairy."
Eli: "You're making me mad, cow."
Stacie: "Good one! I still win though. Go to hell. You take your Cheese and you go to hell. For I have already won. Let the Pyramid be your grave, as in days of yore."

COURT MARTIAL

Alicia: "Take this next one with Ventura again. You have to do the sexism attack you rightly railed against, or else it'll look like outsiders meddling."
Hicks: "That is what it is, though. That is what is happening."
Alicia: "Please? I am very pretty."

(All rise.)

Hicks: "So you're saying there was no transmission delay."
Ventura: "Yes, in this case. In this case, there was none, and Staff Sergeant Elkins simply overreacted and ignored the order."
Hicks: "So is that why you started an online petition in the spring opposing the integration of females into the submarine force? Because females can't take orders?"
Ventura: "Sure, I'm a sexist dick in a lot of ways. But I probably have a fairly sensible-sounding reason for that, and anyway it's not relevant here."
Hicks: "And the only problem you've ever had with an NCO, she was a lady also? You had her transferred out of your area last year?"
Ventura: "She was being disruptive during our shifts. My CO replaced her on my recommendation. But again, this is cross and I'll never explain that more fully, so it comes off looking really bad."
Hicks: "As was my intent. Anyway, so now you work with a guy again?"
Ventura: "Yes. And he is manly as fuck."
Hicks: "No further questions."

HOME

Jackie tries, and fails, to get the door open. Suddenly, Alicia appears in the doorway, grinning like Wendy Scott-Carr.
