Sound Clips:
There's always disco. -- Kirk (Claire) comes up with a reason that humanity is "worthy of continued existence."
Then again, maybe disco doesn't sum up the entire sum of human experience like I thought. -- Kirk has a change of heart after listening to some disco.
...no one's hair is better than mine! -- K'aarg (Megan) is greatly offended.
Careful, you could poke your eye out. -- Keith (as the Klingon K'Raft) is concerned about safety during the combat comb duel.
I believe it is an opossum. Fool! It is obviously an armadillo. -- Megan as the Klingon captain argues with K'Raft (Keith) as to the true nature of "the apocalyptic weapon.".
...we will earn honor and glory and many fine complimentary tupperware sets... -- K'aarg makes lofty promises to his crew.
You must speak to Rip Rocky Mip Fleet! Hallelujah! -- Kirk gets advice from Breezy Derf, a tacky alien (Lisa).
Bonus Audio Blooper!
Dangerous amounts of finely chopped vegetables...--Katie starts singing the lines that Claire and Lindsay have flubbed many, many times. Other cast members join in.

Fast Food Follies II: The Undiscovered Episode
Megan:
For those of you who've read the blurb on visiting McDonald's with the Pope: we did it again. This time without offending a large sector of Christianity, however.
It was lunchtime, we were filming, we decided that we deserved a break today. And besides, we'd had so much fun with the Pope...
The gas station a few blocks away had one of those micro-McDonald's in it, buried behind the coffee machine and the Ho-Ho's. In we trooped, the full bridge crew of the starship Enterprise, phasers and communicators in tow.
Like all McDonald's, this one had the usual ads in place for their specials, and since McDonald's only produces one thing that I can bring myself to eat, I tried to order that.
"I'd like the two-for-two fish sandwich deal," I told the polo shirt-clad rocket scientist behind the counter. (Claire likes the fish sandwich, too. Well, maybe "likes" is too strong a word, but you get the idea.)
"We don't have that," was the reply.
"How about just a fish sandwich?" I asked, scanning the rest of the menu with a practiced eye.
"We don't have that," he said again.
"What about a chicken sandwich?" I inquired with growing desperation, facing the possibility of having to eat either a McDonald's pseudo-beef product or one of the mysterious comestibles lurking on the gas station shelves...questionably edible products with a longer shelf life than U-238.
Strike three. I got a child's hamburger, figuring I could minimize the horror that way.
My sister stepped up to the counter. "Do you have FRENCH FRIES?" she asked with acid sarcasm. The McBrain Surgeon, of course, missed it completely.
I apologize to all McEmployees out there (several of my friends have been forced to seek employment beneath the Golden Arches), but they sure don't put the college grads at the registers . . . and why the hell did they have the stuff on the menu if they didn't actually OFFER IT THERE?!!!
