The Town of Odyssey

I wanted to start a "favourite quotes of Odyssey" thread, but that's not super exciting by itself. So I decided to turn this concept into more of a game!

Each person posts an Odyssey quote, BUT they must choose a quote that involves the character chosen by the previous poster. For example, since I'm going first, I'll just post a random quote of my choosing. Then I'll choose a character for the next person to quote.

Does that make sense? Hopefully that makes sense.

Connie Kendall: Court is now in recess!
Rodney Rathbone: Oh yeah! When the going gets tough, the tough go outside and play on the swings!
Connie Kendall: Rodney... we're going to take a break so I can figure this all out.

I love this episode! It's such a treat and there are so many quotable moments! Plus I just love silly courtroom dramas, so I'm biased. But Odyssey does them well.

Next character to quote: Katrina Shanks-Meltsner


#ElderEugene

Eugene Meltsner: I would humbly suggest to be careful not to jump to any conclusions.
Katrina Shanks: Oh, I’d never count my chickens before they hatched.
Eugene Meltsner: But you might kill two birds with one stone.
Katrina Shanks: Not when a bird in hand is worth two in a bush.
Eugene Meltsner: Unless bird of a feather flock together.
Katrina Shanks: Well, then, I’d be forced to fly the coop.
Eugene Meltsner: There was poultry humor in that remark.
Katrina Shanks: Oh, Eugene, that’s a foul thing to say!
Eugene Meltsner: Well, I was just winging it.

Hehehe I loved this fun wordplay they had. It was so cute because Connie had mentioned that Eugene didn't like puns but here he's having fun with Katrina making puns.

I like quoting this one! Such a good line!

Liz Horton: I just want to know how I made it to the finals. I'm not exactly gorgeous.
Nick Mulligan: Hey, don't cut yourself down like that. Personally, I think you're a very attractive person
Liz: Really??
Nick: Yeah.
Liz: Thanks! But don't get your hopes up..... I'm not polishing the napkin holders!

Just heard this episode a couple days ago. Loved that little exchange.

Rodney Rathbone: I just want something a little more... punchy, that's all.

Rodney Rathbone: Hey, that's good! Can you put that in somewhere?
Lucy Cunningham-Schultz: No, I don't think so.

Not gonna lie, aiowiki helps me with these. I can't remember the exact words.

(Even though Margaret doesn't technically speak this line, I contend that it is a Margaret quote because she wrote the statement for Edwin to read in "I Slap Floor." Also it's by far the funniest Margaret line there is. )
