Sister: Which one?
Miguel: ...Being that you only got one good eye, droopy-eyed motherfucker
Sister: That’s what I said!

Sister: THAT’S what he got from the old man’s speech?

Sister: What’s his vendetta again?
Me: Uhh…

Sister: [Sister] don’t want to watch this. So embarrassing. (holds up blanket and peers over to watch)

Sister: A fellow bisexual!

Sister: He’s like a little gremlin.

Sister: Off to disappoint his mother.

Sister: Tell her about the chicken incident!
Me: What chicken—oh, right.
Sister: Mr. Muttonchops (Beecher).
Me: Yeah.
Sister: Turned him into a rotisserie chicken.
Me: I got that.

Sister: Why are you back?? You should be suing their asses off and retiring.

Sister: Who are these random people sitting at the table?
Me: Well, they did one time say that there are 10 other units like Unit B, so they’d have to have other unit managers I guess…

Sister: I don’t like it when people use the toilet as a chair. Especially if then they get on their bed later. Gross!
(Said gets on his bed)
Sister: NOOO!

Sister: Wow...

Stray Thoughts

Sister was very gleeful over Eleanor being McManus’s ex because it means not another workplace relationship storyline
Stab count: 3 (and today is national knife day!)
While watching this episode, I noticed that the camera direction felt more ambitious/had more intention. Out of curiosity, I went to check and IMDb says that this episode was directed by Kathy Bates!
Sister: Did you notice the only one they didn’t give a grieving arc to in this episode was [Arif]? All the other characters with relatives on the bus got a little storyline.
