Marc, I have a feeling this will wind up being one of my top 5 lines this go-round. It was perfect in context, and your delivery of it was instantaneous and unapologetic.

Someone with a better memory should post the preceding dialogue and situation.

The Plagiarists had a show full of great lines tonight. Here's a few I can remember.

"Bring the bottle. I'm an adult. I've seen rooms in two houses." -- Kacey, asking for a bottle, no glass, of Jack Daniels

"The mailman is upstairs. He's delivering a package." -- Curtis

"I slept with my psychiatrist. It was weird though. With each different position, he asked, 'What does this make you think of?'' -- Asaf

Also, if I could nominate Jon's continuous ranting as he wandered on stage, off stage, behind the stage, and then back on stage in again through the side he exited with an imaginary bottle and glass in hand, I would totally do that.

Ann had a good line in TSK's show too.

"Oh, I do love a good killing." Given with the most proper elocution and giddy clap.

The entire PGraph Stomp and Sing! Two awesome highlights were Bill's solo song as Mrs. Creedy and Roy's ending song where he basically exploded.

I'm revising these with the details I can remember...

"Ethel is upstairs with the postman... A package is being delivered!" - Curtis

"On Monday I slept with my Freudian psychiatrist. It was weird, though. Every time we entered a different position, he asked, "What does this make you think of?" - Asaf

I also enjoyed Curtis' closing line of, "The mail has stopped coming."

In the Boy Toy show before that, I enjoyed the following lines from Brent Foshee about a very young actor (Arthur Simone) who was destined to be so famous there would "two gold-plated helicopters" in his future. "One for Wednesdays - and one for every other day of the week."

For full effect, I would quote the line as:

"The mail/male has stopped coming."

Believe it or not, I debated whether to add the /male to the quote. I thought it might be confusing, but I guess all it merited was an explanation that the word was said once and meant both.

The uh... "coming" part... should have a slash in there too...

It's a non-denominational miracle! - Curtis

There is dirty going on. - Ann Wilson listening to some hanky panky in the broom closet.

Everyone keeps stealing the lines I'm going to post ha!

Holiday Maestro - Vines as "The Grinch" (empowered to remove elements from a scene at will) - walks up to Troy, waves his hands and says "Tact".

Also, post show: Madeline to Booker as he tries to pick up what Madeline thinks is too much trash for him to handle. "You're REALLY old".

I think it was "You can't own a per- a British person".

It was Ceej's line..."He has poison guns. He likes to dip them in cyanide and put them in peoples' ears."
