Supernatural 9x17 "Mother's Little Helpers"

Gonna try to be quick with tonight's recap. I'm currently in Vegas for a work convention and just fell asleep watching the episode. Whoops! But I forced myself awake so I could get this review done on time. See how much I love ya!
Recap/Review of SUPERNATURAL 9x17 'Mother's Little Helpers' by fresfromthe.com
So close but so far.

Anyway, Dean is hard at work trying to find Abaddon, so he can get the blade from Crowley and kill the both of them. But, he's not having much luck. Sam, meanwhile, finds a case and wants Dean to come along, but Dean's all like oh no I'm too busy with this, sorry dude. Really, he's just feeling all weird about what the blade made him feel when he touched it, which Crowley points out to him later when they have a little chat in a bar. Which is really all just Crowley apparently testing Dean to see if he's "ready." Ready to just kill Abaddon, or ready for something else?

Meanwhile, Sam goes to investigate a weird case that turns into multiple cases where normal people basically lose their sh*t really easily for no apparent reason. But it reminds him of a similar time when he had a particularly short fuse as well. Back when he was Soulless Sam. But how can these people be losing their souls? Well, luckily he happens upon a lady in the police station while he's doing research that claims the demons are back again...

Recap/Review of SUPERNATURAL 9x17 'Mother's Little Helpers' by fresfromthe.com
Unrequited love can lead to demon possession, you know.
And she sends us into flashback territory, back to the Men of Letters days when Henry Winchester and young Josie, future Abaddon, are investigating a strange and similar occurrence at a local convent. Turns out, Abaddon and some lackey demons were there taking souls from people, though they never really did figure that out back then. They did, however, afford Abaddon the chance to possess Josie, but only after she requested Abaddon possess her rather than Henry, who was her original target. Bum bum bum.

Back in present day, Sam heads over to the old convent, which was shut down years ago so appropriately creepy at night. One of the same nuns who was left possessed the last time has still been at it, harvesting souls. For what, you may wonder? Some kind of demon army. And that's not the only place this has been happening, apparently Abaddon has farms all over the country.

So, after getting into a skirmish with the demon and, duh, ultimately becoming victorious, Sam frees the souls there and then heads back to let Dean in on the news with renewed vigor in their search for Abaddon. And, of course, Dean does not tell Sam how he's really feeling about the whole blade situation, which always turns out well for them.

Random Thoughts:

- When Crowley went to the bathroom, I was thinking to myself - demons need to pee? Then when Dean brought that up a few moments later, I was like ah ha! No! What? That's a random thought.

- I'm not sure how the soul harvesting leads to demons, exactly. Does it mean the people are easier to turn into demons, or the souls are turned bad and then put back into the people? Not quite sure what that means.

- What exactly does Crowley have up his sleeve with regards to Dean and the blade and all that shizz? Seems he has an ulterior motive, though I'm not sure what.

- This episode was directed by Misha Collins, our erstwhile Castiel, in case you didn't know. Bets on whether Jared ever does one? I don't think he will based on past statements, but who knows.

Quotes:

Dean: What you call obsessed, I call doing my job.

Crowley: You're lying to Sam like he's your wife. Which... kind of makes me your mistress.

Dean: Go to Hell.
Crowley: Oh, if only.

Vanilla Pudding Mix Chocolate Chip Cookies

I know, I know. I've been posting a LOT of cookie recipes on here lately! Sometimes I just get in a cookie phase and cannot be stopped, what can I say. These particular cookies are a take on a traditional chocolate chip, which I have made many varieties of as well. These are one of those ones that are no fuss and pretty easy to whip up on a weeknight if you're just really craving some chocolate chip cookies. Which, let's face it, is most nights. And these cookies are a great solution. Because, um, yum! They are really some of the best quick chocolate chip cookies out there that I have tried. You should try them too, for reals.

Recipe for Vanilla Pudding Mix Chocolate Chip Cookies by freshfromthe.com

What's nice about the pudding mix in these is that it sort of acts in much the same way that cornstarch does, but adds in an extra touch of flavor. It keeps the cookie from spreading too much, and makes it so you don't really need to refrigerate it. The original recipe says you absolutely must do so, and normally I would agree, but when the dough for this came out as being rather stiff to begin with, I decided to give it a try as it was. And the cookies turned out just fine. They did not spread all over the place at all. In fact, they stayed in just the right size. So, I say you can skip the refrigeration this time.

I also only put in half the amount of chocolate chips that the original recipe called for. If you're super into chocolate, go ahead and double that up, but personally I like to have a little higher dough-to-chip ratio in my cookies. But everyone is different. Feel free to mix these up as you choose!



Vanilla Pudding Mix Chocolate Chip Cookies by freshfromthe.com

An easy weeknight chocolate chip cookie recipe that doesn't require refrigeration!

Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3.5 ounce box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • pinch salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a mixer, beat together the butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla on medium-high speed for about 4 minutes until creamed and light. This is easier with a stand mixer, obviously.
  3. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add in your flour, pudding mix, baking soda, salt and beat on low speed until just combined, maybe a minute.
  4. Scrape again and add in your chocolate chips. I usually do this by hand, but you can use your mixer if you like for about 30 seconds.
  5. On a parchment or silpat-lined baking sheet, scoop out your mounds of dough into cookie shapes. You can refrigerate if you want, however I do not find it necessary with this recipe. They will form very much like how you place your dough, so if you want it perfect-looking, make sure you don't have any stray bits along the edges of your cookie mounds.
  6. Bake for 11 minutes until the edges just start to brown and the middles are just set, then take it out and let it sit on the pan for another 10 minutes to finish cooking the insides. Remove to a wire rack and get another pan going!
Recipe adapted from Averie Cooks
In pictures:


Mix together your butter, sugars, egg and vanilla for four minutes until it looks light and creamed like this.


Next, your dry ingredients - flour, vanilla pudding mix, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined, about a minute.


Now mix in your cup of chocolate chips. You can put in more if you like, but I like more dough to chocolate in my cookie ratios.


Plop those out onto your cookie sheets. You can actually fit another row, which I did on the subsequent sheet.


After 11 minutes, take them out and let them rest on the sheet for another 10.


So good, you can't resist having more than one!

Supernatural 9x16 "Blade Runners"

In case you forgot, because I kind of did, Dean got that handy, or should I say arm-y, Mark of Cain some episodes back. You know, when they sent Crowley off looking for the First Blade, which is apparently the only thing that can kill Abaddon? Right, yes, of course, we all recall this one hundred percent.

Recap/review of SUPERNATURAL 9x16 'Blade Runners' by freshfromthe.com
The power, the power!
Anyway, the brothers finally have this on their mind, and are wondering just what in the world Crowley is doing and why he's drunk dialing Dean without any apparent news. Well, it turns out he's been holing up with a lady demon cracking out on human blood. I guess it's become something of an addiction, because it makes him feel and etc. When the lady demon betrays Crowley and gives information over to Abaddon's demons, Crowley has to kill the lass.

Meanwhile, Sam and Dean are resorting to summoning a crossroads demon that takes the form of Snooki for no apparent reason other than to show she's a pretty terrible actor. Oh but also to tell them she doesn't actually know where Crowley is, just that he had been looking in the ocean, which we know was where the blade was supposed to be.

Crowley finally calls the boys for help out of his bit of a jam, and they find out that he did go looking for the blade, but it had been taken already by someone else, who gave it to someone else, who sold it to someone else, etc. So they have to track down the last person it was sold to. This leads them to a national historical archive of some sort that I didn't write down, but even after some of Abaddon's demons try to rob the place of the blade, the blade was already gone. The curator sold it to someone named Magnus.

Now, I'm not sure if we'd heard of the special name Magnus before or if it was just magically introduced by Sam already knowing it, but apparently Albert Magnus is a secret name that the Men of Letters used when they wanted to be incognito. But wait, how would there still be a Man of Letters alive today when they were all massacred back in the '50s? To the record room!

It turns out, one of the Men of Letters was basically ex-communicated because he had some ideas that were a little too radical. He was super good at spells, so they figure he's probably the one who got the blade. Crowley had tried to track him down back in the day, and they go to the last known place he was at and, via some pleading and magical voodoo, find ole Cuthbert hanging out in his invisible mansion with his collection of antiquities.

Recap/review of SUPERNATURAL 9x16 'Blade Runners' by freshfromthe.com
Tut tut, never pull a knife on Sammy.
At first he seems like a reasonable enough dude, but it soon becomes clear he's a bit unhinged. You know, the keeping a zoo of supernatural beings is probably a hint that all is not on the up and up. When he finds out that Dean has the Mark of Cain, he poofs Sam right out of there and basically says he wants to keep Dean to be one of his pets. He even lets Dean get his hand on the blade for a moment, which makes his mark glow all red like and sends basically like waves of killer power through him.

Meanwhile, Sam tries to find a way back inside, and with Crowley's help, manages to come up with a spell to do just that. He gets captured again by the dude and tied up alongside Dean, but Crowley is able to slyly untie big D and he grabs that blade and promptly cuts off Cuthbert's head with no ado whatsoever. With the first taste of a kill, he doesn't seem to want to let go of the blade, but Sam manages to get through to him and he does.

Back on the outside, Sam is basically nudging Dean to kill Crowley as they don't really need him anymore. This, despite Crowley being rather helpful. But, Crowley is not entirely un-demony with all of the human blood in him. He steals the blade and tells them to give him a call once they find Abaddon and then he'll let Dean use the blade.

So, one step forward, one step back. Isn't that always the way?

Random Thoughts:

- We don't really see a lot of spellcasting happening on Supernatural, and I suppose with this demonstration of power, you can see why. Spells would make everything really easy.

- Sam, maybe if you hadn't been so rude to Crowley throughout the episode, he wouldn't have felt so compelled to do a double cross there at the end, just saying. I mean, he did get Gadreel out of your head, after all.

- Sam in general is a little unreceptive to others' feelings lately, which is funny since he always used to be the one who was sort of the voice of emotional reason or what have you.

- It's definitely interesting to see Dean face more of a long-lasting supernatural thing happening to him. Sam has had a lot of stuff what with the visions and devil possessions and whatnot. What does the mark mean and what will it do to him long term? Questions I'm sure we'll see addressed as the storyline continues.

- What happens to all of the creatures in that guy's "zoo" now that he's dead? This is one of those refrigerator questions that you don't think about until later.

Quotes:

Snooki appears in the devil's trap.
Sam: Is that, uh...
Dean: Well that explains a lot.

Crowley: You try to play me..? I play the tune everyone dances to.

Crowley (to Dean): You don't know what it's like to be human!

Dean: At least when Cas was human, he was an okay guy. Should've known Crowley would be a douche version.

Dean: When you were saying any of that, did it feel at all creepy?

Crowley: You're right Moose, you can't trust me. But sadly, I can't trust you either.

King of the Nerds 2x08 "One Nerd to Rule Them All"

Well, this short and sweet season has come to a quick end. Eight episodes really isn't very many at all! It feels like we only just got started. But here we are at the end, when the King of the Nerds takes his or her crown, and wins $100,000. You know, some pocket change. Not useful at all.

The contestant pool was down to just four, and things got serious right off the bat. In the final Nerd War of the season, only two nerds would make it to the final round of battle, with two others getting eliminated in the dastardly quiz bowl. Jack rather handily took first place, which sent him straight through to the finals. The other three were all tied up, and whoever took the final point would join him. It was Xander's choice of question for the last one, and I think he kind of made a bit of a bonehead move if he wanted to make it to the finals and chose the hardest question in the math and logic section. Did he forget Kayla is a rocket scientist? Perhaps he should've picked the hardest question in video games if he wanted to win. But I think he was just trying to be fair, which is noble and actually I respect that as you know certain others would not want to be quite so fair. In the end, Kayla got that last question right, sending both her and Jack into the finals.

Unlike last year, though, and thank goodness for it, the final battle between the two nerds would not be something of a popularity contest where the other nerds would all come back and vote for who they think should win. Rather, it would be one final nerd off battle - the Nerdliminator. To help them in this final battle, all of the other nerds did come back, though, and each of them got to choose which person they wanted to help. It was fairly even in that respect, with Kelsey, Josh, Mary Kate and Zack working with Jack, and Brian, Xander, Chris, Nicole, and Katie joining Kayla. But first, they got to all drink some booze and generally have a good time together the night before the final competition, which was fun to see.

The Nerdliminator itself had eight different puzzles for Kayla and Jack to solve. They could call on three of their fellow nerds to help them throughout the twenty-minute timed challenge, but they could only help them on one puzzle per person. Let's see if I remember all of the different puzzles they could complete - sudoku, word find, a math problem, pac man, word cypher, some funky rope thing, a periodic table puzzle slider, and something with color blocks that you had to fit together in a certain pattern. Whoever completed the most puzzles in the time limit would be victorious. It was sort of hilarious to see Zack's many faces as he got annoyed that Jack wasn't calling on him for help, too, though eventually he did. In the end, it was rather close, but Jack kind of shot himself in the foot when he worked on the sudoku for too long without solving it.

Because, yes, the one nerd to rule them all is... Kayla!



In my opinion, the right two people were in the final competition in terms of who was left, and I was content with whichever of them won. Kayla certainly has more pop culture knowledge than Jack, which makes her more of a well-rounded winner. It's also kind of cool that a girl has won both seasons so far. It's also kind of funny because I said way back in my review of the premiere episode that I thought Kayla was a dark horse. Psychic, obvs!

And as one final sidenote, I loved that the bit where Kelsey was going to join Jack's side and he said something in Chinese and the editor put in the subtitles: "Something in Chinese. I don't know, I'm just the editor." That gave me a good laugh.

But what do YOU think? Are you happy with Kayla winning? Were you as relieved as I was that it didn't end up being a vote situation? Tell me your thoughts in the comments!

Brown Sugar Cookies

I love a good chocolate chip cookie, but I confess my favorite part of a chocolate chip cookie is not the chocolate chips. It's the actual cookie itself. And the dough? Forget about those chocolate chips altogether, just let me eat the dough plain. These cookies are basically if you had the dough in a cookie form. You would think that would just mean making the cookies without the chips, but no, those don't turn out quite so well. These are just using brown sugar, and that slight extra tang of molasses-y flavor really makes them delicious and reminiscent of cookie dough.

Brown Sugar Cookies by freshfromthe.com

Mine spread much more than the original recipe I got this from, and I'm not entirely sure why. I chilled the dough, they have cornstarch as well that should help prevent spreading too. Perhaps my butter was a little too warm when initially mixing together the dough. As such, I recommend you melt the butter, but then make sure it gets back to room temperature before continuing. That being said, it doesn't much matter that these cookies came out a little flat, because boy do they taste amazing.

Not to mention they are super easy to make. You don't even need a mixer! These were a weeknight cookie, so the pictures took a lot of adjusting in Photoshop and are probably still not as good as they could be, but I couldn't wait to share this recipe with you!  



Brown Sugar Cookies

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar, for rolling
Cooking Directions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt. Set aside for a moment.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until it's all smoothness, then whisk in the egg. Finally, whisk in the vanilla. Pour those ingredients into the dry and mix together with a spatula until the flour is all mixed in (but don't overmix!). Cover and chill for at least 2 hours, or as long as three days.
  3. Preheat the oven to 325F. Line your baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
  4. Pour your granulated sugar into a bowl, then take a lump of dough (about 2 Tbsp worth) and roll it into a ball, then roll in the sugar. Repeat until you fill up your sheet, with 2 inches in between each cookie. Bake for 10-11 minutes. They'll still be soft in the middle, but you're going to leave them on the pan to finish cooking another 10 minutes, so that's okay. After those 10 minutes are up, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
(Recipe via Sally's Baking Addiction)

In Photos:


The flour mixture. I only used 1/4 tsp cinnamon because I have some really strong cinnamon.


The wet mixed in with the dry. I didn't get a photo of just the wet as they turned out all blurry! Cover this and let it chill for two hours.


After chilled, roll some balls up in sugar and place on your baking mat. Bake at 325F for 10-11 minutes.


Out of the oven, they will be slightly puffy. Let sit on the sheet for another 10 minutes to finish cooking.


They'll flatten out as they cool.


Up close sugary goodness.


Delicious!

King of the Nerds 2x07 "Angry Nerds"

All hail Jack the Giant Slayer! At least, that's what all of the other nerds left in Nerdvana were saying after this week's penultimate episode. That's right, Jack was the one who was finally able to take down the seemingly unstoppable Nerd Off Champion - Zack. He surprisingly took it rather well. Or, as I hypothesized, he took it well because it was Jack who beat him, and he was his last sort of ally. But, let's talk about what led up to that pivotal moment...

Do those lights bug your eyes? Real questions.
Things turned into an individual game for the first time this week with the teams officially dissolved. It was every man, and one woman, for themselves. And the first Nerd War under this new system would be video game related. Very loosely video game related, much to Zack and Xander's disappointment. It was more like go-kart related. It was a game of Angry Nerds, which was a real life light cycle racing game. Kayla was overjoyed because she is a car person, and it turns out, she had reason to feel confident.

The race was a little bit funny to watch. She pretty much smoked all of them, even though she did not start out in first place. Zack had a disadvantage of having never driven before, and Brian had a disadvantage of just being really bad at glow in the dark go karting. Jack and Xander went back and forth for second place, but it ended up being Xander who took second place to Kayla's first. There was much hoopla made about these random bonus stars giving you extra points if you ran over them while driving, but in the end they didn't change any order in those who finished, so it was a bit of a moot point. Or as Joey Tribiani would say, a moo point.

Zack certainly put up a fight.
With Kayla winning, she got the distinct advantage of not being on the chopping block, but also of being able to solely pick one of the people going into the Nerd Off. There was much political intrigue leading up to her decision, with everyone lobbying in different ways, Xander perhaps most terribly as he almost shot himself in the foot. Kayla ended up sending Jack into the Nerd Off as part of a grander scheme, which turned out to work exactly as she hoped. The others all voted individually for who should be the other entrant, and it ended up being two votes each for Brian and Zack, which gave Kayla the further advantage of being the tie-breaker. She, of course, picked Zack to face off against him, so it was the two -acks in a final Midas Touch Attack Nerd Off.

The Nerd Off was basically about building a structure that would withstand balls being airgunned at it. Each of them had balls placed strategically in the structure that the other was trying to shoot down. Which is why I suppose this was called Angry Nerds, as that is very Angry Birds-like. Whoever knocked down three balls first would be the winner. It was actually quite close. Both of them knocked down two balls each, and it was down to whoever would get the last one. Jack proved victorious because his structure was sturdier than Zack's. Thus, the most successful Nerd Off victor since Genevieve was sent packing.

Now, Zack was painted as sort of a villain throughout the series, and oftentimes he fit the part, but it does seem like he grew over the course of his time there. At least, I hope that to be true. In any case, adios to Zack! Next week is the finale, where the King of the Nerds will be crowned. Though Xander has been a favorite throughout this competition personality-wise, I do think maybe he is in a bit of a Celeste-like position, in that I'm not sure he really deserves to win if it comes down to it. Honestly, I'm almost rooting for Jack at this point. Or maybe Kayla. Poor Brian never gets any votes in my polls, but with Zack gone, we'll see who proves to get the most votes this time around...

Who do you want to win?

Supernatural 9x15 "#Thinman"

I have to say, when I heard that the Ghostfacers were going to be making a new appearance on the show, I was pretty stoked. Their episode in season three is one of my all-time favorites, as you can see in my top 5 episodes of season three list, so I was really hoping this episode would deliver some good times and good memories. And... it did! Haha, you thought I was going to say I was disappointed, didn't you? Nope, this was probably one of my favorites of this season so far! Shout out to the writer Jenny Klein, who did an interview on this here blog back when she was just the mere writer's assistant on the show.

Recap/review of Supernatural 9x15 '#thinman' by freshfromthe.com
A Winchester confessional.
Anyway, let's get down to the plot here! A girl is killed by some mysterious dude in her closet. Dean thinks it looks like a ghost, so he and Sam go to investigate. Turns out, they're not the first ones to have turned up at the scene of the crime. The Ghostfacers are also in town, and they have an idea what killed the girl, and it's not a ghost. It's Thinman.

After some research, Sam deducts that Thinman isn't based on any real legends, but appears to be something entirely relegated to internet gossip that started a couple years ago. Most of the photos of him had been photoshopped in the past, but now the new one featuring him behind the girl killed previously is NOT fake, so something is up.

Dean thinks that the thing is really a ghost, but when it kills another guy in a diner, he has to rethink that notion, because one moment he was in front, and then next he was inside, slashing the dude to death. Of course, Harry points out that Thinman teleports, so it must be real. He is super stoked that they are finally on to something, but Ed is more reluctant, and would rather turn things over to the Winchesters. But Harry won't hear of that, so he has Ed drop him off near the woods, where the Thinman supposedly lives, to try to find him.

And that's when we find out why Ed has been less than gung-ho about this particular case. He confesses to Sam and Dean that he actually made up the Thinman. Harry was going to leave the Ghostfacers and settle down in a 9-5 life, which Ed did not think would make him happy, so he made up this story to keep him into it. But now it's real and he doesn't know what to do. First step: confess to Harry the truth.
Recap/review of Supernatural 9x15 '#thinman' by freshfromthe.com
The relationship gone wrong parallel grows.

Well, really, they first have to go save Harry, because he actually does happen upon Thinman in the "woods" and gets stabbed. Luckily, they get to him before Thinman can actually kill him. But that's when he finds out the truth - that Ed has been lying to him for a while now, and he's just not sure he can forgive him for that.

Sam and Dean get a lead on where the Thinman may be thanks to him apparently having driven a very rare car to the crime scene. At this point you can kind of deduce that the guy is actually a real person, which honestly I had figured out back when the diner dude was killed. But anyway, it turns out the police officer who has been helping them out and the random busboy at the diner who had a line many acts earlier are the ones behind this whole Thinman killing spree. They manage to momentarily outwit the Winchesters, giving the Ghostfacers enough time to come to an agreement that they have to put a stop to the Thinman legend and show up to distract the bad dudes for a bit until the brothers can get out of their bonds.

Harry ends up having to shoot one of them to save Ed, and despite their having saved the day, their relationship is left up in the air, much like another pivotal relationship on this show. It was perhaps a bit on the nose there at the end, but nonetheless gave the Winchesters a view into something similar happening to others outside of themselves (they can be very self-centric, the Winchesters). It ended on kind of a sad note, so I hope that there is some follow-up with them later and that they are able to patch things up, because seeing Harry leave Ed there at the side of the road at the end was all kinds of frowny-face.

Random Thoughts:

- Though this episode did not really play into the whole angel arc of the season, it did build more on the strained relationship of Sam and Dean. Obviously they have to get over this eventually or there would not be much of a show to watch. I did enjoy the cute story of when they were kids, that was a nice moment.

- But, I mean, it was kind of maybe over the top how much of a parallel the relationship woes ended up being. Or maybe that was just me. But it was almost the exact same line of "You didn't do it for me, you did it for you" or something that Sam said to Dean not that long ago.

- Did you figure out that there were two guys behind the Thinman? I actually said out loud "I'm pretty sure it's a real person dressing up as him, probably two guys working together." Gotta love being right, haha. Obviously they would not have had that random scene with the busboy if he wasn't going to show up later.

- I laughed a lot when Ed and Harry were going to split up and they did the hand motion and then the Ghostfacers thing over their faces. Hilarious!

- I love that the title of the episode has a hashtag built into it, since the whole Thinman story was created online. #Thinman! Very now.

- The dialogue was all very funny. I didn't get everything, but some of my favorite bits are below.

Quotes:

Dean: So you're coming?
Sam: Does it look like I'm staying?

Ed: The Winchesters. Yay.
Harry: Says Nobody.
Ed: Ever.

Harry: No one cares what they think. They don't even have a Twitter!

Harry: Quit raining on my rainbow.
Ed: Rainbows can't happen without rain.
Harry: Don't try to use science with me!

Harry: A man could lose his marbles being so close to the blade of doom. Lucky for us, I'm really good at marbles.

Ed: I know you're not thinman, you're just a me-me.
Harry: Ed, it's pronounced meme.
Ed: It's spelled me-me.
Harry: The second e is silent.
Ed: You're a me-me-a. A man meme...
