Edwards: "I hate this job...I swear..."
Kyle: "They're not gonna listen...so...did you look to see what's the specialty, today?"
Edwards: "Nope. Don't wanna know. It'll probably try to eat us..."
Kyle: "Let's see...eeeeeeeeeewwwwwww..."
Edwards: "Tuna Pinapple Salad Surprise?!"

taalismn wrote:"You know,' familiarity breeds contempt'?"
"Do I look stupid, you arrogant little twerp? Of course I know it! What does it have to do with our situation?"
"Ignoring the unsolicited side- order of snark, I'm suggesting that if the tuna, the mascot, and the pineapple, or any combination thereof, spend enough time in conjunction, they could possibly turn on each other, canceling each other out."
"That's a long shot, given our past experience."
"True, but thin ray of hope better than nothing, no?"

Or all 3 could just come after you.

Kyle: "You had to do it on ME??"
Edwards: "Sorry..."

"The worst kind, Rand."

"Well, at least we get a few days off from school for Thanksgiving! You got anything to be grateful for, Dana?"
"Yeah, that I can get some NORMALITY for a few days."

"NORMALTY?? In THIS place?!"

Edwards: "Wanna soda, Kyle?"
Kyle: "Uh-uh...those machines are looking at us funny!"
Edwards: "On the other hand..."

(Suddenly a mob of students come running down the hallways...as soda cans fly everywhere)

"They've gone CRAZY!!!"
"I swear I'll never drink another soda! Don't hurt me!!"
"AAAAIIIIIIIEEEEEE!!"
SAVVVVEEEE MMMMMMMMEEEEEE!!"

Edwards: "I'm going home."
Kyle: "Good idea!"

"Sir, we're looking at a potential bloodbath situation with the vending machine uprising."
"Announce that it's the midterm exam. 'Surviving an alien invasion using innocuous terrestrial machines as proxies'. Those who pass not only survive, they get to go home for the holidays."
"So we're recycling the 'Robotech 3000' scenario?"
"If it gets us back on theme, yes, we are."

Nova: (Popping on her AC/DC Mp3, holding a minigun, staring down vending machines) "I came to kick ass and chew gum. Guess what I just ran out of..."

Yeah, Nova kinda took the orders to 'infiltrate the school and not appear any different from the rest of the student body" by coming in black leather as the 'Bad Girl'.
"Hey, how many other opportunities am I going to get in my life to be a juvenile delinquent?"

Thus, nobody is surprised when she hauls a mini-gun out of her school locker. In fact, they wonder why she didn't have one in her gym bag.

"You mean like Marie, when she went down to the fashion district?"

Rand:: "Uhm; yes, Annie...but what if they don't have any...ahem...nuts?"
Annie: "Then you beat the crap out of them and then take them home and they become your new Mr. Snuggles!"
Rand: "Oh, boy..."

"And what else did we learn about fighting the anime way?"
"Ah, there is a direct correspondence between the size of a young girl's eyes and the size of the bludgeon she can haul out of her personal hammerspace?"
(facepalm)"...ah, yes...but that wasn't what I had in mind..."

Sarah: Umm Vending machines are not invulnerable to strategic application of large amounts of concentrated force? And you have to watch out for the beverage ones as they can explode if the containers and refrigeration systems get punctured?

"Ah...'More Missiles are Better'?"

"So what else did we learn in Anime Fighting 101, class?"
"If there are any large, dangerous animals, we call Annie?"
"If the BSS can't handle the situation, absolutely!"

"Ah, Never Make Your Civilization Dependent on an Easily Lost or Misplaced Alien Energy Source?"

"Any way, what other lessons are important and basic to Anime Combat."
"Ah, TEST any weapons system before deploying it at the operational level?"
"Don't attempt to operate any military vehicle you have no previous experience in."
"Like that ever stopped you, Amuro."

"Send out Mauve Squadron on any dangerous, suicidal missions with no chance of success before us?"
"Good use of critical thinking skills."

"In planning your galactic war campaign, design and designate at least one design of mecha or ship as 'cannonfodder grade'."
