Numa Numa

“What would the world be like if men planned the weddings?” – Nate, tossing a wedding invitation to Christy.
“Shorter.” – Christy and Davy, in unison.

“No, no, you’ve got to learn to serenade before you get the girl.” – Davy

In The Emperor’s New Groove (better known to us as “that llama movie”), the emperor’s name is…
“Wow. Hey guys, guess what the Peruvian capital of the Incas was?” – Christy
“Cusco. We knew that.” – Nate
“I am ever so slightly amused by this.” – Christy

“Christy, apparently there is a fourth requirement for a civilization. It should be: food, safety, strong central government, and Starbucks.” – Laura to Christy, after listening to David
“It’s true! Someone should tell Mom. She needs to rewrite the curriculum.” – Davy
“Oookay.” – Christy, thinking that it is very obviously 4:30 pm on a work day.

“Therefore play music!” – Nate, quoting Much Ado
“I love you.” – Christy, delighting in the quoteliness of Nate.

“Have you forgiven me yet?” – Laura to Davy
“You’re approaching forgiveness.” – Davy

So, today the office got hold of the Numa Numa Dance….you know, that Romanian song.
Need I say more?

“Wow! It really is true! Romanian is the living language closest to Latin! This is so cool!” – Christy, reading Numa Numa lyrics.
“Is it? That’s unfortunate.” – Garret
“Hey now, don’t say that to her. She’s in love with it.” – Davy
“In love with a dead language?” – Garret
“Yeah. Christy isn’t in love with a guy; she’s in love with a language.” – Davy
“A dead language?” – Garret

It’s 2 PM. Do you know where your Tarzan soundtrack is?

“Ack! ‘Put your faith in what you most believe in’ MIGHT be theologically tenable, but the song just goes down from there!” – Christy, on a Tarzan song.

“Hey Nate, somebody said you were saving all these empty toner tubes to build a raft?” – Productions Worker
“Yeah, a Juggamarand.” – Nate
“Nate, you rule!” – Christy and Davy, who are familiar with juggamarands… and the ongoing love that Somervilles have for them.
“Where are you gonna launch it?” – Productions Worker, still puzzled
“Oh, I dunno. Madagascar? Just call me Noah, okay?” – Nate
“Hi Noah!” – Davy

“Even I, your unmarried big sister, have never tried to set you up with any girls. You’re too cuddly; they’d fall for you in a second.” – Christy
“I never thought that being too cuddly would be my issue.” – Davy
“You see, Davy, I want to keep you.” – Christy
“Ohhhh. You may have to let that one go.” – Davy

“Oh, Garret, this song could so be worse! Just add a driving 80’s synth beat behind it!” – Davy on a Tarzan song.

“Did you just compare the curriculum to Episode III?” – Davy to Laura
“Sacrilege!” – Christy

When they start to talk about fonts…
“Casey, I have one word for you! Papyrus!” – Davy
“Ewwww! That is so overused! But I have something for you. ‘Comic Sans’!” – Casey
“Oh, yikes, yeah!” – Davy
“When you two geeks get done gerbilling at each other…” – Nate

“Let’s admit it, Casey. Guys can be awfully cute.” – Christy to Casey, about the guys in Casey’s caregroup taking all the girls in the caregroup out for ice cream, etc.
“Yeah…” – Casey
“Hey, there are preschool toys in here!” – Nate, admonishing Christy and Casey for saying nice things about guys in public (that is, in the presence of guys).

“Where’s the phone?” – Productions Worker
“I killed it and ate its liver.” – Davy

“We all prisoners, chickie-baby. We all locked in.” – Casey, quoting Herbie, the Love Bug
“Casey, you rock! That’s one of our favorite quotes, and nobody else ever knows it!” – Christy
“Aw, I feel so Somervilleish!” – Casey

“I don’t know the Broadway show. Let that be a comfort to you.” – Casey, offering Davy a consolation for the fact that she knows the Beauty and the Beast soundtrack backwards.
“Oh, phew.” – Davy, with gentle sarcasm

“No, this is how I’m going to propose. I’m listening; don’t bother me.” – Davy, paying close attention to Gaston’s song in Beauty and the Beast.

“Don’t die. If you die, I’ll be bored.” – Davy to Christy

“I know that this is going to shock you, but we singles at CLC are a Starbucks culture.” – Christy
“No! For real?” – Davy, sarcastically

"We're all prisoners, chickie-baby. We're all... locked in!"

*almost chokes on sandwich*

HAHAHAHAHA! That is one of our favorite quotes too. And of course we think nobody would ever know it! I have to wonder if there is a canon of secret quotes that everyone knows but is absolutely sure everyone else would think is embarrassing? :D
