Best show lines-2009

Anything about the AIC itself.

two of my favorite lines from the FMs sets weren't even lines:

-Erika read the message Dave had sent on a computer monitor, then very awkwardly buttoned the top of her shirt.

-Erika's small glance over at her Amish husband for approval before being hugged by Rachel. Then she turns around to be more modestly hugged from the back.


that lady is the master of the nonverbal!!

can you any body tell me what is that line means
You see zenblend, the dollhouse is a play on words. It's both a literal dollhouse... and yet in the show, people may have been laughing at a less literal interpretation...maybe that the dollhouse was an analogy for a part of one of the improvisers anatomy.

Since dollhouses are made of wood, someone getting a splinter from a dollhouse...

... you know I'm just not doing this line justice. Maybe someone who was there can explain it better.

"Yoga is life, yoga is learning...Yoga is basically just bending and stretching"

- Kacey Samiee, Rise & Shine as a yoga expert

this is one is hard to convey. She kept being asked what yoga "was" by Curtis, and she finally caved.

"You can do it!" -- Gene, in the Unfurled and Murphy mix-em-ups Sunday 6/7/09

There was a long father-daughter scene with Scott and Stephanie...someone from the sides (Josh?) endowed Scott as Mr. Sandler...someone else from the sides (Kyle?) called it out as the weirdest Adam Sandler movie ever, which gets the scene edited and as it was being edited Gene jumps out and delivers the line...

Had me rolling.

It was "Jesus loves my hooker dress".

Of course, your "Dreidel, huh - you ever actually play that game" was right up there too.
