Grian, texting Iskall: Help, I'm being kidnapped!
Iskall: WHAT?! Where are you?!
Grian: In a car with a strange person. Help me!
Iskall: I'm going to call Mumbo
Mumbo, answering his phone: Hello?
Iskall: Where's Grian? He told me he was being kidnapped.
Mumbo: Kidnapped? What do you mean, he's right here next to me—
Mumbo:
Mumbo: I'll call you back.
Mumbo: I JUST HAD A MUSTACHE TRIM! IT'S NOT THAT BAD!
Grian: WHO ARE YOU?!

“Buster doesn’t wear his heart on his sleeve does not mean that he doesn’t have one. Acting both through and around his deadpan, he knew how to let the audience figure out what he was trying to hide.
In The Haunted House, when a woman comes into the bank where he works and exerts her wiles to seduce him into opening the time-lock safe early for her, his face remains as set as granite, but every time he shakes his head in refusal we know exactly how much his resolve has weakened. Here the stone face hilariously counterpoints a spine of jell-o.”

Grian: Every time I hear someone talk about updog, I'm torn between not wanting to fall for it and wanting to help them complete the joke.
Mumbo: Okay, but what is updog?
Iskall: Updog is a long sausage in a bun, usually with ketchup, mustard, onions, or relish
Stress: That's a hot dog. An updog is when a new version or patch of a program is released
Jevin: No, that's an update. Updog is the fourth-largest city in Sweden
Cleo: That's Uppsala. Updog is a symbol used for an arbitrarily small number in analysis proofs
Joe: That's an epsilon. Updog is an upward-moving air current
Tango: That's an updraft. Updog is the modern version of a henway
Mumbo: What's a henway???
Tango: About five pounds
There's two Ernie Hudson quotes that I think would fit Clara and Zestial. No Old English from Zesty because I'm not smart enough to do that, and him just saying it in modern English is funnier to me.
