Makoto: Everybody's tragic backstory gave them mad skills and all I got were trust issues and anxiety.

[makotodeservedbetter]

Makoto: Happy birthday!

Cynthia You're a year older!

Laurent: But never taller!

Abby:

[makotodeservedbetter]

Cynthia: One bonus of us being older than Abby and Makoto is grossly misusing modern slang on purpose and watching them cry inside.

Laurent: An example: the other day I pointed at a Starbucks and, while looking Makoto right in the eye, went “Man, is that bae or what?” and the look on his face was something I will treasure for years.

Cynthia, handing out tea: Here you go. I put some vodka in one glass, whoever finds it gets a prize.

Ozaki, Kudo, Shi-Won, Makoto and Abby: …

Laurent: Don’t worry, she’s just messing with you.

Laurent, after taking a sip of his tea: Oh, no, she’s serious. Guess I win!

[makotodeservedbetter]

Cynthia: If you could change your name, what would you change it to?

Makoto: Forty exclamation marks in a row, and it's pronounced like a person screaming.

[makotodeservedbetter]

Makoto: What, in the name of sanity, have you got on your head?

Laurent: It's a fez, I wear a fez now. Fezzes are cool.

Cynthia: [snatches the fez, throws it in the air]

Abby: [shoots it]

[makotodeservedbetter]

Laurent: When Cynthia has daiquiris she gets really into how beautiful she is.

Cynthia: Hey, I dare you guys to dare us to make out.

Makoto: Hey Cynthia, you know that’s a mirror, right?

[makotodeservedbetter]

Laurent: [Taps finger]

Dorothy: [Taps finger in response]

Ozaki: Stop that.

Dorothy: Stop what?

Ozaki: You’re talking about me in morse code.

Laurent: Yes, that’s what we’re doing. In our very limited free time, we took a class on a very outdated, very unnecessary form of communication just so we could talk about you in front of you.

*Years later*

Laurent to Makoto: That’s exactly what we did.

[makotodeservedbetter]

Laurent: I asked Makoto out.

Cynthia: I'm sorry.

Laurent: Why?

Cynthia: Well, I assume he said no.

Laurent: No, he said yes.

Cynthia: Is that so? Then I'm sorry for him.

[makotodeservedbetter]

Laurent: A pessimist sees a dark tunnel.

Cynthia: An optimist sees light at the end of the tunnel.

Makoto: A realist sees a freight train.

Abby: The train driver sees three idiots standing on the tracks.

[makotodeservedbetter]

Laurent: .. .----. -- / … --- .-. .-. -.--

Makoto: What's that?

Laurent: Remorse code.

Makoto: I'm even angrier now.

[makotodeservedbetter]

Cynthia: What makes you think it's okay to watch Hannibal given its subject matter?

Laurent: Sometimes, I watch television shows for entertainment purposes.

Abby: Because I condone murder and cannibalism.

[makotodeservedbetter]

Clark: So you’re the therapist for the whole team?

Makoto: Yep!

Clark: Who’s your therapist then?

Makoto, holding up a small pebble: I talk to this rock sometimes.

[makotodeservedbetter]

Laurent: It’s 8:40 right now, so that means less than 4 hours to go before the new year!

Laurent: I’d say I’ve gone a little more simple this year, last year we got a restraining order from the firework shop, but I have something cool planned.

Makoto: Laurent, the ice sculpture you ordered is starting to melt, and did you really have to buy all those gold plated punch glasses?

Laurent: Oh, just wait till the ball drop I stole from Time Square in New York gets here!

[makotodeservedbetter]

Dorothy: Last year, I asked Santa for the sexiest person ever for Christmas.

Dorothy: I woke up in a box.

[makotodeservedbetter]

Laurent: Makoto said he wants a cat for Christmas.

Laurent: We usually have a turkey, but if he wants a cat, then okay.

[makotodeservedbetter]

Ozaki, to Laurent: Behave yourself or Santa’s going to castrate you for Christmas.
