- William: If I'm so toothless, then how come you're afraid to come upstairs with me?
- Lamb Mannerheim: Afraid? You've gotta be kidding me, I just spent my entire life being trained to follow a man with long hair and a beard. That would just be down right predictable.
- Lamb Mannerheim: I realized we *do* have something in common.
- Loray: We do, huh?
- Lamb Mannerheim: Yeah. You don't have any black friends, either.
- Loray: Maybe it's just a Tuesday night, and I'm trying to be your magical a negro?
- Lamb Mannerheim: Um, my what?
- William: No! No!
- Loray: Magical negro. Magical negro is a narrative convention in which a black person uses her special black wisdom to help a white person in need.
- Lamb Mannerheim: He was a good pilot, but...
- Amber: Did he get as messed up as you? All the shit on your neck?
- Lamb Mannerheim: He lucked out.
- Amber: Not a scratch, huh?
- Lamb Mannerheim: No, he died.

- Lamb Mannerheim: This is me, before the accident.
- [standing in the ocean in a sundress]
- Lamb Mannerheim: And here's me after I was barbecued in jet fuel.
- [sitting on the beach completely covered]
- Lamb Mannerheim: The old-me was content, virtuous; believed in everything.
- Lamb Mannerheim: [sundress] Marshmallow.
- Lamb Mannerheim: What an idiot.
- Lamb Mannerheim: I'm not a show girl.
- Loray: Nobody cares what you are, hon.
- Lamb Mannerheim: I care very much. I care about the message that I send out into the world. Besides, I could never do that anyway, people would stare. My skin.
- Loray: Yeah, well I got a skin condition too. It's called black. "People would stare."
- Lamb Mannerheim: This, this is so much worse than home.
- Amber: [laughs] Nothing's worse than home. Trust me, I'm scared for life.
- Doug Mannerheim: [running into the room] Is she in pain?
- Melanie Mannerheim: She says she's happy.
- Doug Mannerheim: Oh no.
- Doug Mannerheim: We're open to hearing about your new beliefs, as long as they're still very conservative.
