Frost: To either get ice cream or commit a felony. I'll decide on the way.

Between the Matches Incorrect Quotes #3

Scorpion, already crying: You did?

-----

Jacqui: If you put a milkshake in one yard and crack open a cold one in another yard, which yard would the boys go to?

Kung Jin: Schrödinger's boys.

Cassie: FUCK!

Takeda: What about cracking open a cold milkshake?

Frost: As we all know, the milkshake brings the boys to the yard. The presence of the boys is a prerequisite for the cracking open of a cold one, but cold ones do not have any inherent boy-attracting abilities. Milkshakes, however, do.

Frost: All else being equal, the boys would proceed to the milkshake yard. While it is possible to announce the presence of cold ones in the hope of attracting some boys, the pull of the milkshake is much more powerful by comparison.

Jacqui: ...

Kung Jin: ...

Cassie: ...

Takeda: ...

Frost: Mind you, all of this nonsense hinges on whether or not the boys are back in town.

Between the Matches Chapter 63 Preview

"I'm sorry, Takeda," Kenshi began as he disembarked from a small boat docked at Shang Tsung's island. "The realms would be a better place without Shang Tsung, and besides, it's way past time I took my revenge."

He prowled around the island, following anywhere he sensed signs of conflict. He just needed to focus on the lingering essences of Smoke, Ermac, Reptile, and Rain. They were his best bet for finding the sorcerer who blinded him all these years ago.
