Sister: He’s gonna die.

Probably my favorite O’Reily moment in the series lol

Sister: I have never seen any of these guys drinking water before and suddenly they can’t get enough of it…

Sister: Not the fucking blood types again! Oh, she probably killed him.
Me: The other guy didn’t die, though.
Sister: No, he went to Solitary.
Me: No, I mean, the other guy who needed a blood transfer didn’t die. She didn’t kill him.
Sister: Oh right ahaha. It was just so egregious I was like “He’s dead” in my mind.

Sister: Also not true. You could use anything. Your ear. Your foot. If you’re just a torso… Well, you can use your belly button. Or your boobs or whatever.

Sister: This looks like an album cover.
Me: What kind of music do they make?
Sister: Ehh like really soulful but also really cheesy R&B. This is like the part of the music video where they’re just talking instead of singing, like “Man, my beautiful lady Shannon just dumped my ass…” and all the other guys go “But she was the hottest one!” And then the guy by the railing is thinking about something else. Like his problem is a lot worse but no one asks him about it. He probably gets hit by a car in the music video and then everyone’s all sad and they wear suits at his funeral in the rain. And Shannon’s there standing on the other side of the casket with like a red rose or whatever that pricks her finger, and she’s like “We can never be together again!” and then all the boys leave, too, and O’Reily’s just standing here all wet and sad like “Why was I such a terrible person!” But he’s singing, of course.

Sister: Why’s he crying?
Me: ‘Cause he feels bad about it. He saw a picture and he feels bad.
Sister: …Oh. 🤔 I must be a coldhearted bitch.

Nothing really, this line is just so funny to me. I want to read Nappa's fake memoir...

Sister: Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Sister: Oooh, they’re talking on the spiritual channel. It’s like me and Ma. When I woke up this this afternoon, she also woke up from a nap. We agreed in the sleep world to wake up at the same time so I could call her.

Sister: Oh no…so embarrassing…OH NO… It’s like Camp Rock 2… OH NO, they made that old man do it, too!! 😭 And you know they had to plan this out… (whispering from behind hand) “Hey guys, for this mutiny we’re planning, you know what would be cool? Let’s all prance out… We’re going to prance out, okay? It’ll be really cool.”

Sister: Well at least he can go be with that white lady now, I guess.
Me: Yeah, but he’s, like, alone now.
Sister: They were toxic friends…
Me: Leading them was like his whole identity.
Sister: He can make a new one! I don’t know. Do you need a group to be a leader?

Stray thoughts:

It’s really funny that Stanislofsky accidentally told Pancamo the truth (that he’d been drugged) while lying
Tom Fontana, you’re a stupid punk for not adding subtitles for the non English dialogue
Sister correctly guessed that Giles would say Glynn was the killer
Hamid Khan’s sentence is such bullshit but also I see it but like it’s so BS
After the episode ended, Sister made us watch the Muslims hop marching away again; “If they remade this now, they’d have them dab on the way out….”

Final Thoughts

Sister: Do they ever find out that the water is drugged? So tedious. Can we just jump to the part where they uncover that the waters were being drugged?
Me: I’m gonna tell you because you keep asking, but no. The drugging never gets exposed to everyone.
Sister: What are they going to do, stop the program once somebody dies?

[...]

Me: What would like to see more of?
Sister: I need that lady who’s over in that other place (Shirley) to hurry up and get her stuff over with. If there’s going to be tension, I guess I need Mr. Walrus (Beecher) and Mr. Police Man (Keller) to have more tension stuff.
Me: Said is allied with Beecher now. Any thoughts?
Sister: I don’t know. It’s like whatever. It’s like when you go to the house of an eclectic artist and there’s a zebra print pillow and a leopard print pillow. And I’m like... Oh, okay.... I guess so. Also, Beecher’s like the nomadic dude, so I assume if anyone gets thrown out of their group, they just get stuck with him.
Me: You don’t think Said and Beecher make an interesting couple?
Sister: The won’t even let him be with that white lady, how they gonna be a couple—
Me: 💀 A couple of dudes!
Sister: Yah, they already gave him so much grief about the white lady. A white man would probably explode their brains. They’d all have heart attacks and die.
Me: Yeah, yeah, I meant, like, as a pair. A duo.
Sister: It’s whatever. I’m just waiting for Mr. Said’s thing to hurry up. They keep just giving him after school specials. Like, what has he accomplished? More and more, you realise he should have gotten out of prison while he had the chance. He could’ve gotten a lot more done if he was on the outside.
