January 17, Sturmundrang and Asaf and Jill in Switch.

"Your breath smells like Lunchables"
- Eric to Sarah

"Standing is the new jumping"
- Rebecca

Jeff strolls in front of the stage.
"I'm a passing opportunity"


Jill: "Are you saying my daughter is fat? 'Cause she's obviously thin enough to fall down a well"
Asaf: "But not athletic enough to pull herself out".


"I'm going to sleep for a week. Forward my mail to Dreamland"
-Asaf

"Like a moth to the flame, like a yo-yo to the finger...."
-Jill

Regarding Fifi, a dog who's been exposed to a Christian youth leader:
Jill: "That dog seems genuinely changed"
Asaf: "He won't stop genuflecting"

seconded. god, there were so many in the show i tried to remember, but that seems to be the only one that firmly stuck.

to further my earlier theme of "lineless lines," the final moment was pure absurd brilliance.

::Asaf duels Jill in bassoon playing. Jill traces a single tear running down her face. facing defeat, she unzips her body and flies away::


and my two favorite moments from Sturm Und Drang:

(end of a scene in a laundromat filled with random counting)
Kristin: Fuck.
Rebecca: Shit.
Sarah: ...Six?


(the lights flicker on and off randomly in the middle of a scene. Eric and Sarah as brother and sister look confused. Jeff enters)
Jeff: Children, that light means you just learned something!
Sweetness Prevails.

Confidence Men: Improvised Mamet played one of our sweetest-ever shows last Saturday for Best of Week at Fronterafest. We were salesmen at a car dealership.

Ceej's character is expounding on how impossible it is to sell a Hyundai:

"I assume they just creep off the lot and find themselves an owner!"

Shana Merlin as the inebriated "Wooki" in Jerzey Shores:

"How does this chair work?"

She put it in one position and sat on the floor next to it, turned it sideways and sat on the floor again and finally turned it upside down and barfed in it.

Priceless.
