MC: Oh shoot. MWAF is angry.
Jessy: How can you tell?
Jake: I am no person reader but I think you can read him by his hands. Like right now, he's holding a gun. I don't think that means he's happy to see us.

Dan: Plus you think I have the patience to boil water?
MC: You don't have the patience to microwave water for 3 minutes??
Jessy: Why are you putting it in the microwave to boil it?
MC: Do you think I have the patience to boil water on the stove?
Jessy: It takes less than a minute.
MC: Is your stovetop powered by the fucking sun???
Jessy: How long does it take you to boil a cup of water on the stove?
MC: Like seven minutes??
Jake: Just stick the mug on top of the stove on medium heat and it boils in like 2 minutes… less than that if you use a saucepan!
Jessy: Why are you putting the whole mug on the stove?? On medium heat?? Jake? Your stove is enchanted!
