From TSK's Murder! show downstairs during Waffle Fest:

Brad running down the stairs in the audience, bolting across the stage, and doing a full body slide to disappear under and behind the curtains.

Holy shit, that caught everyone by surprise and was hilarious as hell.

If you need the context, Brad was hiding from Jon Clinkenbeard, who wanted to yell at and berate him for being a foreigner (even though Brad's show name was Hank and they were in Ibiza and, well, you get the picture).

Yes, that counts as a line.

I can tell you - and I think Emily & Dav will back me up on this - it's not making any putative opera next year.

Funny, though.

"Yes. Prep for surgery. Perhaps you can start with a breath mint."

~Jeff Britt/Confidence Men/Regular People show at Hyde Park Theatre/Nov.15

Jeff was a hospital administrator. Asaf was a doctor who had started drinking
booze after surgery...not thinking he had any more surgeries for the day until
another victim was reported to be arriving.

I find it very hard to believe that no one has said any choice lines in over a week.

or is it that people have forgotten about this thread....

From the latest Dickens rehearsal:

"Hmm. This crumb's got wings."

[Munch munch munch.]

cmen dec11 - location: "Asylum"

Scene - Jeff is the doctor. Asaf is the orderly with a voice in his head. Troy is the voice in Asaf's head.

asaf: "Am I being fired?"
jeff: "I just don't like that word. I don't like that word."
a: "Fired?"
j: "I mean . . . my father, uh . . . he burned up in a car accident. So I guess fire itself is a soft point for me."
a: "But I am."
j: "Fired? Yes."

and then just a little later -

"What do you need to do? What's the one thing stopping you from continuing to work here, Robert? One thing. It's big and fleshy and standing over there."
-troy, as the voice in asaf's head, pointing at jeff, a few lines before asaf executes the most gruesome hideout strangling incident i've seen yet

Paul during The Love Notes' last "Where in the World" show, delivering some bad news regarding his Bonnie 'n Clyde relationship with Kristen:

"I'm not breaking up with you. Fate's breaking up with us."

Meghan:
"I'm sorry he died on the job, by the way, but it's a little creepier for me considering I'm wearing his things".

Paul, trying on perfumes:
"My neck smells like Sky with three "y"s. My wrist smells like Enthusiasm. And my elbow smells like Stone".

I feel silly posting my own lines, but I was very proud of my line in the scene with Pat in this past week's Maestro:

"I thought it was suspicious that you built a well right next to the School For the Curious."
