Better Off Ted Season 1 Episode 10: "Trust and Consequence" Quotes

Veronica: If by "laugh" you mean sting over and over again in endless waves of fury, then yes, they have a wonderful sense of humor
Linda: You realize that if this project goes forward, all the aborigines in Australia will lose their sense of smell.
Ted: Which is why I'm going to kill it. That's just too high a price to pay for fabric softener.
Linda: If those aborigines were here, they'd smell a good man
Lem: I will not let you go. Come on, this is just like the virtual climbing wall at MIT.
