The Dry Spirit

THEY IMMEDIATELY DO

Lena: "We used to be friends or something. I wasn't on the show, but I was always around. It was kind of like being the butler's daughter."
Lincoln: "Sorry I lost touch, but my parents' selfishness fucked me up."
Lena: "That's cool. I could be totally insane for all we know."
Lincoln: "Cool, why don't you talk about it for a million years?"

Clark: "Med school, huh? That must be way more boring than being a prop in your dad's famewhoring."
Lincoln, verbatim: "Science isn't a great big wonder anymore, Clark. Discoveries are made in a lab, not the jungle!"

Stupid CGI Dragonflies: "Spielberg alert! Never lose your sense of wonder!"
Everybody: "This is such a special moment where we all stare into space at nothing!"
Lincoln: "Nature, I guess you got me this time. With those neat CGI dragonflies. I guess science really is a great big wonder and discoveries aren't made in a lab."

The Amazon: "Yeah, well. In addition to being a physical location for the Quest, I also represent primal nature, the unconscious, and the spiritual and instinctual demands of the human soul. So. Expect more of that, is all I'm saying."
ABC's The River: "Making me a slightly less-racist version of The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader, basically."
Jahel: "Also the whole reason I can't speak English."

THE MAGUS!

Everybody: "We found the boat! Man, is it jacked up. Let's roam around with our video cameras noting how jacked up it is. Way more interesting to watch than read about in a recap."

Something: "Boom! Ack!"
Clark: "It's coming from the safe we modified into a panic room in case of piracy!"
Tess: "I'm convinced today's the day we find my husband, Dr. Emmet Cole!"

The panic room is soldered shut from the outside, so they decide to have Kurt saw it open, because what pirates would do is maybe solder you in there to take your stuff. That makes sense. But if for some reason that is not Dr. Cole in there (Spoiler: It is not!), it might have been smart to leave a note by the door saying, "Do not saw this shit open because there is some bad news going on inside." And I mean, I guess the huge scratches on the walls and the liberal coating of blood all over the place could serve that purpose, but what you have to remember about a scary movie is that the people don't know they're in a scary movie.
