SWIFER: We've been workin' for sweeps on this malarkey!

SWIFER: We put in the elbow grease, but not a single Creator but the Matriarch even cared.

SWIFER: We were fightin' mortals.

SWIFER: But then this Crocker comes along and just blusters straight into the clutches of all've the grimy filthy rich regressives!

SWIFER: Starts parroting their talking points, giving them her infinite fantasy money...

SWIFER: All I'm saying is I'm not too bothered by what's happening here.

SWIFER: The kidnapping, and all.

CLIPER: ⁂ionno. not sure its a good idea, swif⁂

CLIPER: ⁂lemme be clear, tho, ionnt have one iota of respect for 'president' jane crocker⁂

CLIPER: ⁂its just. politics on this planet used to make sense, mann⁂

CLIPER: ⁂it wasnt great but at least ya knew the rules⁂

CLIPER: ⁂now we have to deal with this shit thats just completely impossible to take seriously⁂

CLIPER: ⁂ionn think i cann pretend that makinn the fuckinn CAT VERSION of the seer of light a QUEEN is a good idea⁂

SWIFER: Look, I think she's neat.

CLIPER: ⁂of course you do, you big gay slut⁂

SWIFER: Oh, you cad.

SWIFER: Not like that. I just think we're workin' in extraordinary times.

SWIFER: For five thousand years, the position of Matriarch sits vacant.

SWIFER: Waiting for Kanaya Maryam.

SWIFER: Then she goes to space and goes all "Swifer I Must Go To Space To Retrieve My Wife You May Take Over As Matriarch While I Am Away".

SWIFER: I'm in way over my head.

SWIFER: Queen Jasprose might not be the most... stable leader, but every minute she's occupying the president is a minute she's not rollin' back our legal protections!

SWIFER: And who knows? Maybe she'll change!

SWIFER: Either way, I need all the help I can get from my moirail right now.

SWIFER: We're in a huge mess, and you know how I feel about messes.

CLIPER: ⁂i do know⁂

CLIPER: ⁂youll always have my help⁂

CLIPER: ⁂no matter how many weirdo technicolor gods show up⁂

SWIFER: I know you do, C.

SWIFER: Look. When we get back from this, things are gonna be even crazier. Press in our faces, the whole nine yards.

SWIFER: We might as well have fun while we can, eh?

JASPROSESPRITE^2: Look, tootsie. There's another thing I wanted to talk to you about.

JANE: Another political excoriation?

JANE: Perhaps an insult to my intelligence?

JANE: Or another clumsy pass?

JASPROSESPRITE^2: I'm completely charming you and you know it.

JANE: Hmph.

JASPROSESPRITE^2: It's about Dirk.

JASPROSESPRITE^2: Have things purrhaps been a bit diffurent inside your head since he left?

JANE: What?

JASPROSESPRITE^2: Let me put it in a slightly more clawnical and detached fashion.

JASPROSESPRITE^2: Have you been hearing fewer voices?
