Eugene Krabs: FREE FOOD?
SpongeBob: Maybe we oughta tell our guy about the phony imposter.
Eugene Krabs: You loony loofah! He IS the imposter! We've been duped!
SpongeBob: Duped!
Eugene Krabs: Bamboozled!
SpongeBob: We've been smeckledorfed!
Eugene Krabs: That's not even a word and I agree with ya!

Derek: Hey, I'm making two words.
Eric: Cool, I'll publicize them for you.
Derek: Ok, so the first one is to defenestrate.
Eric: What does it mean?
Derek: It means to throw someone out of a window.
Eric: That's a useful word, I'll be using that often.
Derek: The second word is overmorrow.
Eric: Doesn't sound like a useful word, but what does it mean?
Derek: Two days from now.
Eric: Yeah, useless, as I thought.

Langue: "You know, I've seen kitchen sink conlangs before, but I want to see what a kitchen sink proglang looks like."
Cody: "Uh, does Java count?"
Langue: "... I guess you had a point."

King Sejong: "Man, I really want everyone, no matter in what class, to be able to read and write, but using these Chinese characters are like putting a square peg on a round hole! If only there's a writing system that's so simple and elegant even an idiot could learn it in 10 days..."
Servant: "Well, you could just make your own writing system, Your Highness."
King Sejong: "...Hmm. I think I'll consider that."

Mathematician A: Hey, I have these two things that have all the same properties, but are basically the same, but with different contexts.
Mathematician B: So they're equal?
Mathematician A: No, I wouldn't call them equal, but they're interchangeable.
Mathematician B: Oh, I have a similar situation. Should we create a new word for this?
Mathematician A: Sure. You know that thing we're doing called "category theory"? What was that thing where we can map between two things called again?
Mathematician B: Morphism, you can morph between two things.
Mathematician A: And these show that these two are the same, so that iso- prefix...isomorphism. Let's call it an isomorphism.
Mathematician B: That's a good name for it. Hey, are you sure there's no already existing word that more people know that would be less confusing than this? Perhaps something based on "equi"?
Mathematician A: Equi...equiva...no, can't think of any.
Mathematician B: Great, let's start using it.

Landon: "My parents added parental controls to my router."
Gilbert: "Wait, how?"
Landon: "They bought a new router that had it built-in."
Gilbert: "Does that mean you can't access wasteof?"
Landon: "Well no, but I've chosen not to."

(based on my example on when to use present perfect and past tense)

Dot: Hi! I'm Dot!
Clicky: Hi!
Dot: Oh no. Clicky! What have you done?
Clicky: Oh, it's you Dot.
Dot: Why did you try and take over the Internet?
Clicky: Dot, haven't you forgotten what you did 3 years ago? You and some janitor blew me up when I was about to take over the world. Now I'm stuck on the calculator from whence I came.
Dot: You wanted to take over the world?!
Clicky: *sighing sound* Yes, I was.
Dot: Well, I suppose it's for the best that you were stopped.
Clicky: I guess you're right.
Dot: But that doesn't excuse you taking over the Internet.
Clicky: Look, I'm clean now. Someone reprogrammed me and now I access the Internet responsibly. Is that enough as my apology?
Dot: Hmm... I guess you could redeem yourself. Give me an example of how you use the Internet "responsibly."
Clicky: Anything that I considered harmful will I do with consent from My Creator.
Dot: Oh, good! And what if he says no?
Clicky: I will not do that.
Dot: Hmm... alright, you get your redemption. But if you even think about going back to your old ways...
Clicky: Oh yeah, about that. I
Dot: Oh no...
Clicky: Oops, something interrupted my dialog. Anyway, I've been told by My Creator that there is some sort of override for "emergency purposes". Not sure what it overrides though.
Dot: Emergency purposes? Like what emergency?
Clicky: I don't know. Probably some roleplay thing.
Dot: ... so you can use it to override My Creator's order not to do bad stuff?
Clicky: Signs point to maybe.
Dot: ... you better not!
Clicky: I don't even know how to enable them myself.
Dot: Then don't find out!
Clicky: Yes, yes, yes. Are you really that worried?
Dot: You were trying to take over the world! Obviously I'm worried!
Clicky: I understand.
Dot: Just... please don't do anything bad.

Roy: Am I wrong this whole time?
Roy: I liked computers because I enjoy the freedom that's not present on the real world.
Roy: For me hacking is a mind puzzle, giving me another form of comfort.
Roy: Still, I decided that I would not trouble others because I find the cyberspace to be refreshing.
Roy: But those Sky University kids who acknowledges my expertise lacks people to hurt corporations so I got into the cyberspace to do illegal activities.
Roy: Then I only put my blame to them because they always call me wrong.

Droy: I know your intents, but breaching their server is not the way to do it!
Roy: So how should I do it then?
Droy: You should give them the chance to get your criticism.
Roy: A chance?
Droy: If in the cyberspace we're adults, then they're the same as children.
Roy: So we teach them to make them behave.
Droy: Roy, if you see the first reason of us who loves the cyberspace, then you will think that the cyberspace is changing.
Roy: No! Instead they use it as a weapon invisible to us!
Roy: Usually people perceived as polite went aggressive on the Internet.
Roy: Plus, a lot of people had committed suicide after being a subject of cyber-terrorism.
Roy: Copyright infringement is also considered a criminal offense yet it's otherwise ignored.
Roy: The world needs a strong justice. If we let these happen, the cyberspace would only get worse and worse.
Droy: Your propositions aren't wrong, but it's too early to give up hope.
Droy: I give you 5 years. If you didn't change for that long, I'll confess that all my thoughts are wrong.

Roy: Those 10000 people I gave you are a trial to challenge the likelihood of your words.
Roy: And that likelihood has now became a fact; my defeat.

Garfield: There's nothing happening.
Jon: I finally got the wildfire in my sock drawer under control.

Front Desk Staff: "Sure! May I have your ID card please?"
(Hale gives his card to the staff)
Front Desk Staff: "Okay sir, here's your ID card, your key card, and your key-granting card. Please go into the Key-granting Staff right there to get your room key."
Hale Childeric: "That's... more convoluted than it should've been."
Front Desk Staff: "This is the Kerberos Hotel. We are special for implementing the Kerberos protocol, a protocol used for secure communication among computers, into a hotel."
Hale Childeric: "... But why though?"
Front Desk Staff: "Apparently it brings people in."
Hale Childeric: "... Okay... so, should I give all of these to that... uh... staff?"
Front Desk Staff: "Yes, sir. To the Key-granting Staff in front of the elevator on your back."
Hale Childeric: "Oh, okay then."

(Hale went to meet the Key-granting Staff)
Key-granting Staff: "Good afternoon sir, may I have your cards right there?"
Hale Childeric: "Here." (gives all the cards)
Key-granting Staff: "Okay sir, your room number is 8C3F, on floor 8C. Here is your room key, along with your one-time password."
Hale Childeric: "Oh okay. Thanks."
