El Goonish Shive

El Goonish Shive (EGS) is a webcomic that was started on January 21, 2002. It is written and drawn by Dan Shive. =General Quote= Elliot: Because it sounds like one big awkward moment.

Elliot said this when Tedd asked him why he passed the buck to Sarah on deciding whether to go to Grace's birthday party. Dan Shive has said that this sums up all of El Goonish Shive in one sentence.

I had every reason to rant! Why would you schedule such a boring movie right after a lunch period, and why would you show a movie about rocks in a chemistry class?! Maybe it had a point. I don’t know. I fell asleep. But still, it seemed really out of place to me. I think…

 * I also have the keys, Sherlock. In case you hadn't noticed, everything that was on you is now also on me! I'd be quite nude otherwise...


 * Go with you to what? Friends who don't know me? A family that won't love me? I don't have a home to go to, double, not with you around!


 * Am I supposed to be afraid? Sorry, but it's kind of hard to frighten the dead...


 * @#%$ logic. I'm a female bisexual duplicate of Elliot, and I can shoot green rays of light from my hands. And I'm fighting a blob of goop. Logic has nothing to do with any of this.

 * Hey, I'm a magic talking duck who specializes in distraction! Being a master of illusion makes sense, but shapeshifting? That would be downright nutty!


 * What part of "master" are you failing to understand?

TC: Hey, could you suck on some lollipops in a suggestive manner?

Nioi: Mmm... so cute... I will call him Tedd-chan.

Dr. Germahn(referring to his radio watches): This isn't about money, you foolish intern! It's about having cool stuff to play with!

 * Liam: ENOUGH!
 * Liam: Ultimately, these reasons to distrust uryuoms are excuses. If they were not there, people would invent other ways to rationalize it.
 * Liam: The prejudice against uryuoms boils down to them originating from somewhere else, and being different.
 * Liam: They cannot use the same magic everyone else can, and we deny them the technology they could use to bridge the gap.
 * Liam: This limits their work options, and denies them conveniences others take for granted.
 * Liam: Prejudices are passed on, and those in power make scapegoats of them.
 * Liam: We created, and perpetuate, the situation they're in, and then judge them for not doing more.
 * Edward: You include yourself in that.
 * Liam (thinking): Is that... anger under his mask?
 * Liam: I am an advocate for change, but I cannot pretend I stand outside the system.
 * Liam: Especially not when I am as highly ranked in society as a griffin can be.
 * Liam: Whether I like it or not, I am a part of this unjust system, and must remain so if I am to be of any use to anyone.

Elliot: I suppose it was foolish of us to try to capture goo using nets...

Tedd: Blasphemy! We just need larger nets! 

Elliot: And you want me to convince Sarah to help get Grace some clothes of her own?

Tedd: I'd do it, but I have no fashion sense and I'm banned from that area of the mall. 

(Elliot sees Tedd as a girl and his eyes bulge out)

Elliot: Ow...eyes just weren't meant to pop out like that...

Tedd: Yeah, that was creepy. 

Elliot: OK, first of all, take your hand off my shoulder. Secondly, what are pheromones?

Tedd: Let me put it in simpler terms: You smell sexy. 

Tedd: Well theoretically you should be bisexual in this form.

Elliot: What? I am not attracted to guys! I mean you're a guy and I'm not-

(Tedd removes his glasses)

*Shocked look*

Elliot: Put the glasses back on, keep them on, and let us never speak of this again.... 

Elliot:What, you know her somehow? Tedd:Elliot, she is my cousin. Elliot: NOOOOOOO!!! Wait, why should that bother me. Hehe... I made out with your cousin...

Tedd: Um, yay. Good for you.

Tedd:I'm pretty sure that "dude" joke's been done somewhere before.

Elliot: What joke? You were driving me nuts!

Elliot: Why would being female make you better at cooking?

Tedd: Because I'm hot. 

Tedd (about the game Animal Crossing): Does it involve genetically engineering hybrid super animals?

Elliot: That's what I figured at first, too, but no.

Elliot: So, in other words, you're a big tease.

Tedd:  YES!!! 

Elliot: Ask yourself, which is better: one girl in uniform, or two?

Tedd:...''Two! Two is better!''

Elliot: My first "girly thoughts" weren't that exaggarated!

Tedd: Yes they were- all I had to do to make you make you blush was take my glasses off!

Elliot: And how exactly is talking about it "never speaking of it again"?

2006
Tedd: The Big Deal is that he's the head of the student council for my school! He's heard of me, said I looked familiar, and he knows my full name!

Ellen: I was only messing with ya...

Elliot: I knew that! Haha! haha...ha?

Elliot: You know, technically, if you got into the closet with her [Nanase], that would suggest you'd be hiding your interest with girls as well.

Ellen: Given that I'd be in the closet with another girl, I don't think I'd be doing a very good job.

2007
(After getting done talking over the fact that Elliot disturbed a moment between Ellen and Nanase) Elliot: Anyway, girls hug all the time. They are more relaxed about that kind of thing. Ellen: So, what, you're suggesting that girls just casually cuddle and sleep together? Could you picture Sarah doing that with Grace? Elliot: Vividly. Ellen: Me too, but for all the wrong reasons. 

Ellen: Nanase and I are a couple now! Be happy for us! Elliot: I wanna be but...Nanase doesn't want it to get back to her family that she's gay, and she only just realized she's a lesbian. Did she actually say she's ready to be in a relationship? (Ellen gets a shocked look on her face. A moment later, she is getting out of her chair.) Ellen: Excuse me. I need to find something heavy and blunt to kill you with.

Tedd (in Grace's body): Piece of cake!

Elliot (outside): Hey, what's taking you guys so long down there? Hurry up already!

Grace (in Tedd's body): Hey, I ran into that Tony guy while in the bathroom. Tedd (in Grace's body): Tony?! Are you ok?! He didn't hurt you, did he?! Grace: Oh, I'm fine. I think he was distracted by his obvious attraction to you. (Tedd's eyes go wide) Why so shocked? You have a very pretty face. 

2005
Grace: Welcome home, Tedd! Tedd: Grace! Y-you're in a cat form! But I thought you weren't transforming? Grace: Not on my own, but I thought you could use a kitty-hug, so I used the transformation gun! 

Tedd: You're going to transform back to human form eventually, right? Grace: Meow. Tedd: I'll take that as a "yes". Grace: I'm sorry. You must think I'm weird. Tedd: ...mmmaybe just a little. Grace: When Damien killed all those people while freeing my brothers and me, I had the power to stop them, but I didn't. Then, last Saturday, I finally used that power, and I lost all control. I don't deserve to use my powers. If I have to in order to undo gun transformations, I will, but I'm not going to use them otherwise until I was feeling better about myself. Tedd: Grace... Grace: Let's just cuddle for now, ok? Tedd: ...ok. 

2006

Elliot: Basement it is then. 

Mr Verres: I must inform you that I will be going away on business for a few days.

Tedd: Really?

Mr Verres: Yes, and while I'm gone I want there to be no fooling around between you and Shade Tail!

Tedd: What? Are you talking about- Dad, we've never had-

Mr Verres: And nor should you! Fool around with her in her human form and she could get pregnant! That and you're too young for such-

Tedd: Wait, back up. Why specify her human form?

Mr Verres: Oh, well the scientists who made her were worried about what would result if she got pregnant while half-squirrel so they designed her so she couldn't get pregnant while transformed.

(pause)

STOP SMILING LIKE THAT!

Tedd: I'd like to, but I can't.

Elliot (in Mr. Verres's documents storage closet): Hell yeah! Area 51 fact sheets!

Mr. Verres: Forget you ever saw that!!!

Tedd: No way! Those are so going online later! 

2003
Mr. Verres: So you see, my lad, the true moral behind the battle of Trenton is that if you party too hearty, George Washington will kick your ass. Any questions?

Tedd: Just one. WHAT DID ANY OF THAT HAVE TO DO WITH YOU SAYING "GRACE DIDN'T DIE IN THAT DIMENSION"?!

2007
Mr. Verres: Tedd, your height needs all the help it can get. Drink some milk.

Tedd: You're barely taller than me.

Mr. Verres: And that's saying something. Get drinking. 

2003
Sarah: Hey, why are we weird looking? Did you forget to buy new pens?

Dan: No, but I'm trying out a new type of paper and I didn't want to draw anything too complex until I was certain the ink wouldn't run or anything weird like that.

Sarah: I guess that makes sense, but do we really need to be this deformed?

Dan: Of course! It's all part of my master plan, you see! First, I establish an alternative drawing style that's faster, and easier to draw! Then, if I need to throw together a quick filler, I can do so easily! In addition, the simple style of the drawings will hypnotise the readers into wanting to buy El Goonish Shive T-shirts, making me a millionaire, thus allowing the initiation of Phase II of my evil scheme! Phase II being, of course, the purchase of a new hat. Any questions?

Dan: Minion!

Minion: I prefer to be referred to as an 'administrative assistant', sir.

Dan: Really? Minions get paid more.

Minion: …Minion it is.

Dan: Plan B was to turn you into a hamster.

2005
Minion: This looks like it was lettered by a one-eyed monkey!

Dan: You could be more supportive than that.

Minion: OK, a two-eyed monkey.

Dan (in Retromud): Well, that was a lot of fun, but I think it's time I logged off. The lines of text are starting to blur together to form dirty limericks and communist propaganda.

Tanooki: I hate it when that happens.

Dan: We should play again sometime and liberate the working man from Nantucket! … or something less blurry vision induced. 

Minion: So...what are you doing now?

Dan: Adjusting the image distance from the edge of the pages in "EGS: Volume 2".

Minion: By how much?

Dan: 21 pixels, or 3.5% of an inch. Helps keep comics out of the book spine.

Minion: Yeah, but 21 pix--

Dan: THE SPINE IS EVIL!

2006
Minion: Have you no shame?

Dan: Sha- what? 

2002
Sarah: Do you know what time it is?

Elliot: Bikini time?

Sarah (with giant mallet): Time to die…

Elliot: Where the hell did that hammer come from? 

Sarah: A-actually, I was thinking just the two of us would go to a movie, together...

Elliot: But then Tedd will get lonely! We really should include him. 

Tedd: Could it be that Scrabble is the greatest game ever?

Elliot: Damn straight!

Sarah (entering): ALL RIGHT TEDD, WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO GRACE?

Tedd: Dammit, don't you knock? What if I was naked?

Elliot: Why the hell would you be naked?

Tedd: I dunno. Strip Scrabble?

Elliot: Ew!

Sarah: COULD WE FOCUS PLEASE? 

Sarah: Elliot, you've been avoiding me all day. why don't you want to talk to me?

Elliot:Well, it's complicated. I want to talk, but I find that I-- (bell rings) (very quickly, while running away) Oh ye gods I'm going to be late for study hall gotta go see you around 6:45 bye!

Sarah: Wow...if he's already acting this strange around me maybe it's a good thing he's totally clueless about me wanting to date him. 

Tedd: Hello Sarah, what's happening. Yeah…Elliot's been turned into a girl and can't see you just now so if you could just come back some other time that would be great, m'kay?

Sarah:…What?

Elliot (upstairs): DAMN YOU TEDD! YOU MIGHT AS WELL LET HER COME UP HERE NOW!!!

Tedd: BUT I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T WANT HER TO SEE YOU AS A WOMAN!

Sarah: You turned him into a girl? What's wrong with you? 

Intercom: Tedd, please report to the principal's office.

Sarah: Um, shouldn't you be going to the principal's office?

Tedd: Nah, I bet they were calling for some other Tedd.

Intercom: There is no other Tedd. Now get your ass down here!!

Tedd: Dammit. 

2003
Sarah: I bet Grace is excited about going to a movie theatre for her first time!

Elliot: Considering how excited she was over her first piece of toast, that's a pretty safe bet.

Sarah:Four soda ads, two ads for the military, half a dozen for heart surgeons, and three previews for movies that resort to the lowest common denominator for entertainment... when is the actual movie going to start?

Elliot: I don't know, Sarah... I just don't know...

2005
Sarah: They usually announce pep rally assemblies during the morning announcements for the Monday of the same week.

Susan: They do?

Sarah: Yes! Don't you listen to the morning announcements?

Tedd: We have morning announcements?

Sarah: What kind of a girlfriend are you?

Elliot: The guy kind?

(Scene: Susan has been transformed into a male, and has just come upstairs. Everyone is crowded around her. Justin, Tedd and Elliot are transformed into females.)

Sarah: ...Yowza.

Elliot: ...I'm standing right here?

Sarah: I'm sorry, Elliot, but look at him!

Elliot: ...Yeah, I guess he is hot.

Tedd: ...Um, Dude?

Elliot: What? I'm wearing a skirt, and I have boobs. I'm not going to start worrying about my manly image now!

2006
(In a transgender fantasy date sequence by Sarah)

Sarah: Would you like to come in for some... "coffee"? (finger quotes)

Elliot: Why yes! I would love to have some "coffee"! (finger quotes)

(Both Sarah and Elliot are transformed into the other gender, and have just attempted to kiss, but Elliot fell off the couch onto the floor.) Sarah: Elliot! Are you OK? Elliot: I don't think I like it rough... Sarah: Maybe we should use protection. Elliot: I-I wasn't thinking we'd go that far--! Sarah: I meant, like, helmets and elbow pads. Elliot: ...Oh! Right! Of course! 

2002
Grace: Oh, hi! You must be Elliot!

Elliot: And you must be a robot, as there is no way a hot chick like you would be in Tedd's house!

Grace: What? I'm not a robot!

Elliot: Aw, man, I'm sorry…um, he didn't kidnap you, did he? 

Grace: Tedd... After all I've seen, there is one question I must ask... DO YOU ENJOY PLAYING GOD?!

Tedd (playing computer game Black & White): Why, yes, yes I do.

Elliot: Hey, that village doesn't believe in you.

Grace: When do I get a turn?

Tedd: After I burn this village to the ground. 

Elliot: So you want to protect people without resorting to violence...that's good, but there'still one more thing!

Grace: Really? Like what?

Elliot: Like why were you basically naked when you first came to this house?

(Sarah hits Elliot with a giant mallet)

Sarah: I know it was a legitimate question, but I didn't like his tone... 

Elliot: So, what's the plan?

Grace: Alright, here we go. As you know, Tedd's father works for the government. I was able to get access to certain information as a result of that, and I have discovered an interesting little item that is being kept at the government's "Paranormal Things that are Probably of Little Use to Anyone Storage Facility", or PTTAPUTASF. There is an artifact kept at PTTAPUTASF called the Dewitchery Diamond that dates back to medieval times. The Dewitchery Diamond is said to be able to separate someone who has been cursed with another form from that curse and return them to normal; all you have to do is touch it. Now, this is such a low priority building that Tedd actually has the clearance necessary to get in thanks to his father, but you can't legally get in and he can't legally remove the diamond for you to touch. Fortunately, however, the facility is so low priority that there appears to be only one elderly guard who constantly guards the front of the building so once Tedd is inside he should be able to sneak you in through the back and get you to the diamond. There are only security cameras at the doors, which is good which means that you'll have to get in by a window because of this. Afterwards, you just have to get to the second floor, touch the diamond and get out. I'll stay back here for a number of reasons including but not limited to the facts that the less people sneaking in the better, if I'm caught they might take me in for testing or something, and someone has to feed Jeremy. Now PTTAPUTASF is a three-hour trip out of town by car so it's best you leave ASAP.

(pause)

Elliot: No seriously, what's the plan?

2003
Grace: (off panel) BAH!

Elliot: (in his mind) Za?

Grace: I got booted from the basement! (Grace sits on the couch) I can't believe I got kicked out of the basement because they had to take their clothes off.

Elliot: Grace, of all the things you could get mad about, opposition to casual nudity is your pet peeve? What's up with that? (Elliot Looks away) It's pretty reasonable that they would want some privacy. I mean, if you were them, wouldn't you want some?

Grace: (hands Elliot her shirt) Talk to the shirt. 

2005
(Grace has literally kissed and made up to Sarah)

Sarah: ''BLEH! Grace, why did you do that?!''

Grace:: Tedd said you'd be as eager to kiss and make up as I was.

Sarah: HE DIDN'T MEAN THAT LITERALLY!

Tedd: (Pokes head in) Yeah, I did. 

Sarah: With all the time it's taken for Susan to transform and get dressed up there, I could have just about grown my own-

Grace: (off panel) HEY EVERYONE! MAN-SUSAN'S UPSTAIRS!

Elliot: Oh thank God that last sentence got interrupted!

Nanase: Grace, can I transform next?

Grace: Sure. I just need to talk to Tedd first.

Tedd: Need to talk to Tedd? Are you sure you don't just...want to talk to Tedd? No good can come from needing to talk to Tedd... 

2002
Dr. Germahn: Assistant, would you CENSORED my CENSORED with your CENSORED?

Amanda: Sure!

Dr. Germahn: Although some would call this experiment a failure, I can definitely see it as a success. 

Elliot: Justin, entertain Sarah for a minute.

Justin: But what about my inner peace?

Elliot: None for you. Back soon, Sarah. 

Sensei Greg: Nanase, no magic and stay above the belt!

Nanase: Damn.

Sensei Greg: Elliot, no summoning inner demons and stay away from her breasts!

Elliot: Damn. 

Rat (going after female Elliot): Let me go, you jerk!

Matt: She's a man, you fool! A man!

Rat: Her chest says otherwise!

Sensei Greg: Are you from some other country or something?

Grace...Er, yes! I, uh, only recently moved to this country!

Sensei Greg:Neat! Which country are you from?

Grace: Wh-why? Do you want to see all the naked people?

Sensei Greg: Sadly no, for alas it is my greatest of shames as an anime martial arts master that I am not an old man or a pervert! 

Elliot (to Ellen, when she believes she's his evil twin): Okay, first of all, you're not an evil twin, you're just overly stressed at the moment. Secondly, how could you frame me? We're not even the same sex!

Tedd: Yeah, and I doubt you can hide your breasts very well.

Ellen (staring at her chest): Ah yes. The Wonder Twins...they do complicate matters, don't they?

Elliot (about Ellen): You have to keep in mind that she is a woman and may consider tactics that we as men wouldn't think of.

Tedd: Like what?

Ellen (at gas station): Excuse me, I'm a little lost.... could you give me directions?

Ellen: This rug makes you look like Hitler!

Principal Verruckt: Huh?! It does?! Why didn't anybody tell me?! No wonder children would cry at the sight of me! 

2003
Justin: (to Jeremy) Hehe.... You're a cute little monster cat, aren't ya?

Susan: Dammit, you're the one being nice to it, why isn't he on top of you?

Justin: You haven't dealt much with cats, have you? Cats instinctively prefer to be wherever they are least wanted. If you really want him to get off of you, just treat him as if you want him there.

Susan: Huh. Okay. Jeremy?

Jeremy: Mereow?

Susan: KITTY! (huge sappy grin on face, hearts everywhere)

(Jeremy runs away)

Susan: Yes! He ran away! Thank you Ju-- .... where did everybody go? 

Susan: Naked Fridays? Yeesh. I'm sure your girlfriend would appreciate that idea.

Tedd: Actually, that was her idea. God, I love that woman…

Hedge: (thinking) Just who is Cat, and how does that green-haired girl know Uryuomoco?

Theater Clerk: Um, sir? Your popcorn is ready.

Hedge: Kick-ass. 

Susan: Just a sec- I need to tell my mom that I'm home with people. (With a bullhorn): HEY MA! I'M HOME, AND I'VE GOT PEOPLE OVER, AND THEY MIGHT SPEND THE NIGHT!

Justin (cleaning out his ears): You don't have an intercom in a house this large?

Susan: We do, but for some reason we can only get Mexican radio through it. 

Justin: How did you know I was gay?

Susan: I didn't.

Ellen (to Susan, who is spaced out): So, I was thinking I might dance naked in your backyard while burning your finest art and furniture.

Susan: Have fun.

Ellen (After several seconds): Women are only good for serving men, be it through cooking, cleaning, or physical pleasure!!!

Susan (Turning around, furious): HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?!?!

Ellen: I had to snap you out of your stupour somehow.

Susan: I wasn't that out of it...'''

Nanase: As far as my mother is concerned, Ellen, you're a heterosexual who attends Catholic school.

Ellen: A naughty Catholic schoolgirl?

Nanase: No.

Nanase: Now that I've shared my horrible web of lies, perhaps Susan can explain why she's suddenly blonde?

Susan: What's to explain? My hair changed colour. It happens!

Nanase: Hair doesn't just spontaneously change colour!

Susan: I stand by my ridiculous claim. 

Nanase: Can you order real food now?

Susan: You're mad, c'mon that was funny.

Nanase: I'm not mad, I'm just tired, and I'm hungry and--and you're blonde and you won't explain how or why! (she turns to Ellen) And I STILL don't know why you sleep so much!

Ellen: Well, I sleep so much because-- (Nanase turns to Justin)

Nanase: And you! (pause) Carry on.

Justin: You REALLY need to be fed. 

Elliot: Hey, cool! I'm having a close encounter of the fifth kind!

William: Hey, cool! Some nerd is pointing at me! 

William: I hate to get all technical on you again, but our species doesn't have men and women.

Gillian: We're all the same gender, we just dress up to fit in better.

(above Elliot's head): Attempting to process: *SYSTEM FAILURE*

Elliot: But... if you don't have genders.... then how.... and the eggs.... za?!

William: I think we blew his mind.

Gillian: Tedd would be proud.

William: Hmmm... Should we just tell him?

Gillian: Why wouldn't we tell him?

William: I'm not saying we shouldn't; I'm just asking if we should give a straightforward answer, or describe the events leading up to the answer in more detail than truly necessary.

Damien: You're horrible at lying.

Elliot: It's what I get for being the good guy.

Guineas: Squee snort squa squee!

Hedge: Who is "Timmy" and how did he wind up down a well?

Grace (about the Uryuom suit): Its amazing! It's obviously on tight, but it feels like I'm just in my underwear!

Ellen: It's almost sensual…

Nanase: OK, NO NEED TO TALK ABOUT THAT! WE'VE GOT WORK TO DO, DAMMIT! 

2004
Ellen (at the comic shop): Should we be disturbed by the fact that Nanase is sleeping on herself?

Justin: Nah.

Hedge: Alright, what the hell is going on here? What was that loud noise earlier? Where is Damien?

Elliot: And who are you?

Nioi: Well, let's see... That "loud noise" was Damien blowing himself up, so that also explains where he is. And I'm Nioi. 

Uryuom commando: Incidentally, we got called out here after Tedd finally got in contact with his dad, which explains why we showed up!

Female commando: Why did you just say that?

Uryuom commando: It felt necessary for some reason.

2005
Grace: So, um, Vladia… still female, huh?

Vladia (holding her big breasts): Gee, what tipped you off, Professor?

Hedge: GAH!

Susan: I figured I should keep a log tonight; keep track of all the just wonderful thoughts I'm likely to have while male. I figure it's a good way to determine if men are naturally as messed up as I've been led to believe.

Elliot: Oh, well, be sure to make note of all your thoughts about sports, booze, video games, lying for sex, violence, crudeness, and the overall sexist attitude you'll naturally have all on account of being a guy for one night.

Susan:...You're offended?

Elliot: Little bit. 

Susan: I thought Tedd was with you.

Elliot: He said something about his "Tedd senses tingling" and ran off.

(NB: Tedd had just raced upstairs to see Grace kiss Sarah.)

Justin: What the heck did you whisper to her? (Nanase.)

Ellen: Um, a dirty limerick?

Tedd:So... you're saying I don't have to worry about guys having the hots for me?

Jusin:I wouldn't think gay guys, no.

Tedd:That's awesome! I--wait, why did you specify "gay" guys?

Justin:No reason. 

Justin (transformed into a girl): I...I was just wondering if you think boys like, um, Elliot, would find me attractive?

Grace: Hm...well, I'm no expert, but you've got large breasts! I've heard that's a plus!

Sarah: Aren't I cute when I'm helpful?

Susan(as a man): Foul, FOUL!

Demonic Duck: At least this party's got some hot chicks.... even if they're not supposed to be chicks...

Justin: Why would you be interested in humans? Shouldn't you be attracted to ducks?

Demonic Duck: Gee, I don't know. Shouldn't you be attracted to women?

Justin: Touché. 

2006
Justin: I think the duck might have been hitting on me.

(significant pause)

Nanase: You gonna go for it?

(Scene: At the party, a pizza guy overhears transformed Nanase and Susan arguing over the appopriateness of skirts. Tedd says they're rehearsing a play.)

Pizza Guy: A play?

Tedd: Yes, a play!

Pizza Guy:About two guys fighting over skirts?

Tedd: Yes...no! They're staying true to the play's Shakespearian roots by having men play female roles! 

Ellen Well it's just...The idea is so out there.

Sarah Who cares? Look at us! We've got an alien hybrid, two magic users, a mad scientist and we're all the opposite sex for a party! 

Ted: What were you doing downstairs?

Susan: Logging stuff.

Justin: Providing logging material. 

2007
Male CSI Agent: Damn. We haven't found anything out here.

Female CSI Agent: I feel inadequate.

Male CSI Agent: Maybe we should hook up later.

Female CSI Agent: Wow. What a twist! 

2012
Nanase: Your data is from cartoons.

Akiko: Of course it is. I'm eight. 

=Large Group Quotes=

Cast survey in filler

"Would you go on a date with Ellen?"

Sarah: Well, yes! I mean, no! Wait, are we talking about Elliot as a woman, or the "new Ellen"?

Tedd: Well, maybe if we ignore Grace, which I can't do, so no.

Grace: Could I bring Tedd? Oh, it's that sort of a date. I'm sorry, no...

Elliot: Um, ew?

Justin: Of course I would! Wait, you did say "Elliot", right?

Nanase: Did Justin put you up to this?

Susan: I dunno.... Unfortunately, I'm straight normally so I don't know if it'd be worth my while... so no.

Gregg: Ok, she's HOW many years younger than me? I don't think so!

Theatre Clerk: Hell yeah I'd go on a date with her! Heck, hook Da Playah up with all these lovely ladies! Woo! '' Ellen: Oh well, nobody was interested. Let's go get dinner or something.

Dan: But didn't-

Ellen: Yee-yup. Not a one.

Sarah (about being transformed):What if something goes wrong? What if I get stuck in some other form?! This whole thing is scary! Weren't you all scared about being "zapped" at first?

Tedd: Heck no!

Ellen: No.

Grace: I jumped in head first.

Elliot: Well...

Justin: Not about that, no.

Nanase: Probably should've been...

Susan: No, not really.

Jeremy: Mereow?

Demon Duck: Sounds kinda cool.
